The 2024 Cyberinfrastructure for Major Facilities (CI4MFs) Workshop, organized by U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) CI Compass, the NSF Cyberinfrastructure Center of Excellence, brought together cyberinfrastructure (CI) professionals from the NSF major and midscale research facilities along with participants from the broader CI ecosystem to discuss issues of critical importance to the success of these facilities. The workshop, which followed the series of events hosted by NSF CI Compass, was themed “Collaboration in Action” to underscore the need for collaboration when solving challenges faced by the CI community. As such, the workshop facilitated discussions via panels, break-out sessions, and small group conversations anchored in selected presentations from NSF and the community. CI Compass also took the opportunity to update the community on activities including the CI Compass Fellowship Program (CICF), now in its third year, on the work of the Cloud and FAIR Data Topical Working Groups focused on the use of clouds for Major Facilities (MFs) and approaches of making MF data FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable), respectively, and on the research focused on building a community around CI.
