What is Azure Research Day?
Azure Research Day brings together UW–Madison researchers (including the School of Madison Public Health), the Microsoft Azure team, and UW–Madison’s Division of Information and Technology (DoIT) Research Cyberinfrastructure and Cloud teams.
The day will allow UW–Madison researchers, teaching faculty, and Microsoft team members to give 30-minute presentations on how they use Azure in their work. We’ll hear about some of the innovation happening with Microsoft Azure. We also plan to have a 2-hour Azure hands-on workshop.
