2017 Heidelberg Gaia Sprint
This page preserves the history from the 2017 Heidelberg Gaia Sprint,
which took place 2017 July 17 through 21 at the
Internationales
Wissenschaftsforum Heidelberg.
Results
Before and during the meeting, we kept jointly edited
2017 HD Gaia Sprint Running Notes
that gathered information about homework solutions, intended projects,
and breakouts.
On the first day, all participants
presented a slide from the jointly edited
2017 HD Gaia Sprint Pitch Slides to introduce themselves, their skills, expertise,
and their ideas for the week.
On the last day, the wrap up was given from a jointly edited set of
2017 HD Gaia Sprint Wrap-up Slides,
which summarize the accomplishments made throughout the week.
The 2017 HD Gaia Sprint has in part resulted in the following publications:
