Are you curious about Canada’s Digital Technology Supercluster (CDTS) network and how its resources can help advance your research for good?

Simon Fraser University's Burnaby campus, SFU’s Big Data Hub, room: ASB 10900 (Applied Sciences Building)

On February 26, Simon Fraser University’s CDTS team is hosting an information session with Evgueni Loukipoudis, CDTS chief technology officer, at SFU’s Burnaby campus. The information session is open to all faculty and staff who would like to more learn about the supercluster and discuss the university’s role as an active member in the network. You’ll also learn how its resources can help advance research in personalized health care; digital twins (a virtual production environment for operations management, simulation, modelling and training); data commons (for storing and manipulating shareable data sets), and building capacity in big data.In 2018, SFU joined CDTS, a Canadian government initiative that is led by a cross-industry collaboration between some of Canada’s biggest names in healthcare, communications, natural resources, technology and transportation. SFU researchers from across the university are currently involved in five CDTS projects that are helping position Canada as a global leader in digital technology.
