CyberInfrastructure-Enabled Machine Learning (CIML) Summer Institute

06/23/26 - 11:00 AM to 06/25/26 - 8:00 PM EDT

Location

SDSC Auditorium (9836 Hopkins Drive, La Jolla, CA 92093)

How to Apply:
The application process will start with a registration on the ACCESS portal in order to verify your ACCESS ID. If you do not have one, please visit ACCESS to create one. 

Your registration confirmation for this event will include a link to apply for the Institute. You must officially apply through SDSC's application form to be considered for the program.

ATTENTION: ACCESS's default registration email responses are NOT an acceptance to the CIML Summer Institute program. Again, SDSC will provide a link to the application form. 


  • Preparation Day (virtual): Tuesday, June 16, 2026 from 9 am - 11 am (Pacific Time) 
  • Summer Institute (in person): Tuesday, June 23 - Thursday, June 25, 2026 from 8 am - 5:30 pm (Pacific Time)
  • Location: San Diego Supercomputer Center on the UC San Diego campus

The CIML Summer Institute introduces artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning (AI/ML/DL) and LLM concepts to researchers, developers and educators techniques and methods needed to migrate their AI applications from smaller, locally run resources, such as laptops and workstations, to large-scale HPC systems, such as the SDSC’s Expanse supercomputer. Participants will have the opportunity to accelerate their learning process through highly interactive classes with hands-on tutorials using SDSC’s Expanse.

In addition, the CIML SI broadens participation in AI/ML/DL research by actively recruiting participants from institutions across the United States that have limited or no access to advanced supercomputing or CI resources. This effort will expand the reach of advanced computational infrastructure and build capacity at institutions of all types and sizes. We will balance attendees across multiple scientific disciplines and institutional settings to develop a robust national AI research community, ensuring that advanced cyberinfrastructure training and expertise extend beyond traditional research-intensive institutions.

Additionally, attendees will have opportunities to meet one-on-one with SDSC’s experts to discuss in detail the best techniques to solve their specific AI problems.
