C4DU Quarterly Forums

We host half-day Forums each fall and winter that bring our community together to discuss recent research advances, share new initiatives, and spark collaboration.

These gatherings explore innovative ways to apply data science techniques to astrophysical questions. Each Forum features broad, accessible talks on major open problems in astrophysics — often paired with a speaker from outside the field who uses similar data or inference methods in a different context. The program also includes short talks designed to inspire cross-disciplinary exchange, as well as a poster session highlighting emerging research and collaborative work.
