Immersion Days
What are Immersion Days? Immersion days are hands on workshops that allow iHARP Researchers to learn from AWS experts while gaining experience implementing AWS products and platforms. These immersion days are vital to the education and training of iHARP Researchers on the available AWS resources that will enable the expansion of research capabilities. Workshop days are open to all iHARP members, which include students (Undergraduate to PhD), senior researchers, and research collaborators.
