Past Events

Participate in the 2025 Geosciences Hackathon to build your software development skills, network, and contribute to open source projects. This year's hackathon theme is "change over time" and participating hackathon teams, guided by mentors, will develop computational models to track geochanges across different time scales, from real time to millions of years in geological time.

Conducting research doesn't necessarily require collecting new data; re-using existing data can often be both efficient and powerful. This virtual Data & Donuts workshop will focus on Finding and Evaluating existing datasets for use in research from specialist and generalist repositories.

In this virtual workshop, learn about the Pivot database and how to use it to find funding opportunities!

This virtual Data & Donuts workshop will introduce attendees to basic concepts and techniques for working with text as data, focusing on how open source software can be used to implement computational approaches for understanding and examining text. A practical, hands-on exercise using Python will follow the introductory talk.

In this virtual AI & Research workshop, we will investigate the utility of using AI to generate research reports. We will provide an overview of tools, time for hands-on interaction, and a discussion on the pros and cons of these tools.

In this virtual workshop, learn how to use the EndNote software product to help collect, organize, and cite the references and papers that support your research.

Train the trainers! At this event, we will take the opportunity to introduce you to the UT Open Source Program Office, our resources and people, and our packed event schedule.

New to Zotero? Or have you been dabbling and want to improve your Zotero experience? Come by the PCL Lobby to get tailored assistance for your Zotero needs. Two Zotero-expert librarians will be on hand to assist on a first-come, first-served basis.
