Join JHU Data Services on Wednesday, February 12 from 12 PM – 1 PM to hear how their various services can help researchers with the data sharing process. In addition, our speakers will highlight trends and new policies around data sharing and management.

Help Build a JHU Climate Dashboard

Save the date! Please join us 11 am-1 pm Thursday, February 20 at the Carey Business School to envision a new climate dashboard tool for Johns Hopkins affiliates.

About the workshop: An interdisciplinary team is creating a web dashboard to visualize emissions from business travel as a Campus as a Living Lab project that supports JHU’s Climate Action and Sustainability Plan. Join a human-centered design workshop where faculty and staff chart a course for positive change. Lunch will be served.

The dashboard will:
