In August, I had the opportunity to attend a very interesting workshop in Bozeman, Montana dealing with the evolution of a National Research Platform (building on the work done on the Pacific Research Platform). Larry Smarr, in his plenary session at CNI’s Spring 2018 Member Meeting in San Diego, provided some background on these developments (and video of this presentation is available at the CNI web site).
The videos from all the plenary sessions at the August workshop are now available and provide a detailed survey of developments in this area. See
