Automating Research with Globus: The Modern Research IT Platform

As research data volumes grow and mandates for data publication become more prevalent, automation is essential for ensuring data integrity and efficiency. Globus Flows (opens in a new window) provides a powerful platform for orchestrating secure and reliable data and computing workflows at scale.

This workshop introduces Globus Flows and its role in automating research workflows. Participants will explore data portals, science gateways, and commons, enabling seamless data discovery and access.

The session includes hands-on exercises to run Globus-provided workflows, create triggers, integrate compute tasks, and build custom workflows using Jupyter notebooks and the Globus web app. Learn to automate research workflows through demonstrations, discussions, and interactive tutorials. Attendees will leave with the knowledge and tools needed to integrate Globus automation into their research computing environments effectively.

Ideal for researchers, IT professionals, and developers, this workshop provides practical skills to enhance research automation.
