We do this by harnessing the transformative power of computing, software and data sciences, and fostering a united community dedicated to advancing human knowledge and addressing critical societal challenges through research.
We’re Better Together.
It’s impossible for everyone to move forward when some are left behind. That’s why we’re proud to be part of the University of Illinois’s commitment to cultivating a community where all people are valued, welcomed, and feel they can fully participate in the academic, research and community engagement mission of the university.
At NCSA, we’re committed to creating a pluralistic learning and research environment that invites excellence and welcomes all who wish to contribute to it, regardless of their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or status as a Vietnam-era or special veteran.
