Working Groups are more informal organizations in RDS@Pitt that can be convened around themes, specific infrastructure, or some combination. Working Groups need a leader and members and there is the hope, but not the expectation, that Working Groups have the potential to grow into future Communities of Practice.
If you would like to apply to be RDS@Pitt Working Group please email Associate Vice Provost Michael Colaresi with:
- A 250- to 500-word statement of intent that lays out the vision for the group as well as its central, organizing topic, why it is important, and how it relates to responsible data science;
- A clearly identified leader of the proposed Working Group; and
- A potential membership list that includes members from at least two different units across campus.
Working Groups receive administrative support to facilitate meetings and are invited to be ad hoc members of the Steering Committee.
