OSC Research Symposium Presentation Portal
The Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) will host its annual Research Symposium on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, to showcase how faculty, staff, students, and industry are using high performance computing resources (HPC) to advance research, education, and innovation in a variety of fields.
The event allows participants to:
• Present posters and give short talks
• Learn about new developments in HPC
• Discuss outcomes of research and educational initiatives
• Connect with others in the HPC community
• Meet potential collaborators
• Provide valuable feedback to OSC staff
Faculty, staff, and students from colleges, universities, research organizations and companies across Ohio and beyond are invited to attend in person or virtually.
NEW FOR 2026: The OSC Research Symposium will be held in conjunction with the National Science Foundation (NSF) ACCESS Regional Workshop on artificial intelligence (AI) April 14–15, 2026, at the Fawcett Center on The Ohio State University’s campus.
The Fawcett Center will accommodate the growing number of OSC’s HPC users interested in participating in or attending the Research Symposium’s poster sessions or Brief Bytes presentations.
The co-located event will allow Research Symposium participants to take advantage of a unique opportunity to attend a free workshop designed to help researchers, educators, and students learn how to integrate AI tools in research and classroom settings in a rapidly changing landscape.
Please note that Research Symposium registration is limited to 130 attendees; participants must register for the AI workshop separately from the Research Symposium. The application to attend the AI workshop will open on the OSC website on January 15, 2026.
