Where Big IDIES Come Together

As an effort to support our guiding mission of facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration, IDIES holds an in-person, university-wide event every fall dedicated to sharing data-intensive research developments.
This full-day event brings together expert practitioners from all divisions of Johns Hopkins University, government agencies, and the private industry to discuss their latest discoveries, practical ideas, and insights into working with big data.
In addition to serving as an incubator for inter-departmental synergy, the symposium includes presentations from distinguished keynote speakers, project updates from the current year’s cohorts of IDIES Seed Initiative Recipients and Summer Student Fellows, and a student poster session, allowing participants to share their work, as well as compete in a juried contest.
