Introduction to the I-GUIDE Platform
July 9, 2025 11:00 am (Central Time)
Abstract
The I-GUIDE Platform is designed to facilitate convergence research and education by providing a scalable and easy access user environment for knowledge sharing and discovery. Its tools and resources support collaboration among researchers, educators, and students. In this tutorial, we will cover the fundamentals of the Platform, including how to create an account, log in, search, and contribute. We will also briefly introduce the I-GUIDE Platform’s JupyterHub, allowing users to recreate analyses and explore data from the Platform. Our focus will be on helping users get started, addressing questions, and tackling any challenges that may arise.
