HASTAC (Humanities Arts Sciences Advanced Collaboratory) will present HASTAC 2010: Grand Challenges and Global Innovations , April 15-17, 2010, hosted by the Institute for Computing in Humanities, Arts, and Social Science at the University of Illinois. The conference will be a free, entirely virtual event held in digital spaces at sites across the globe. The event will focus on grand challenges and global innovations in the form of technologies, research, teaching, and inquiry that can be leveraged across personal, physical, geographical, institutional, disciplinary, and organizational boundaries. HASTAC 2010 seeks to ask: what are the influence(s) of virtual spaces that can transcend boundaries to impact global innovations? How will the next generation of digital technologies alter personal, physical, geographical, institutional, disciplinary, and organizational boundaries? What are the grand challenges in humanities, arts, and sciences that will shape the next generation of global innovation?
In the spirit of including digital innovators from across the globe, HASTAC 2010 will feature keynote events hosted at research centers from across the globe during the conference. Confirmed virtual hub participants include: Georg-August-Universität Göttingen (Germany); Kings College London (UK); Laboratrio Nacional de Computao Cientfica (Brazil); Advanced Digital Sciences Center, Fusionopolis (Singapore); El Centro Nacional de Alta Tecnologa (CeNAT, Costa Rica); National Center for Supercomputing Applications (USA); Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (USA); the Center for Computation and Technology, Louisiana State University (USA); the Center for Computational Sciences University of Kentucky (USA), the National University Community Research Institute (USA); Duke University (USA); the Texas Advanced Computing Center (USA); the Institute for Multimedia Literacy, University of Southern California (USA); and the University of California Humanities Research Institute (USA).
