Call for Participation

CoDEx will explore various topics relevant to research computing and data. We hope you will consider submitting a proposal and share your research through one of the following presentation types.

Presentation Types

Note: We may consider your proposal in another format. We will contact you if your submission is better suited for another presentation type.

Research Talks

These 20-minute research talks highlight Northwestern students, faculty, and staff engaged in data or computationally intensive research. Northwestern faculty, postdocs, graduate students, and research staff are invited to participate. The submission deadline is January 31, 2025.  See details and submit your presentation.

Student Competitions

  • Lightning Talks: These fast-paced and highly focused 5-minute talks are designed to showcase interesting projects, spark discussion, and ignite collaborations across diverse research fields. This format is an excellent opportunity for graduate and undergraduate students to practice presentation and communication skills in an informal setting, as speakers focus on key messages with clarity and precision rather than providing the detail and depth required in a more traditional presentation. The submission deadline is January 31, 2025. See details and submit your lightning talk.
  • Visualization Challenge: The Visualization Challenge offers graduate students, postdocs, and undergraduate students an opportunity to showcase their data visualizations to the broader Northwestern community. The submission deadline is January 31, 2025.  See details and submit your visualization.
  • Poster Competition: The Poster Competition allows graduate and undergraduate students to present their research to Northwestern faculty, students, and postdocs. All areas of research are welcome. The submission deadline is January 31, 2025. See details and submit your poster.
