Our Research Community

Ontario researchers in every discipline from art history to epidemiology are applying advanced research computing to solve real-world problems and advance scientific discovery. Our goal is to ensure they have access to the computing power, data management and storage, software, skills and other supports they need to do this. We collaborate with major research organizations in Ontario to understand and advocate for researcher needs, and we partner actively with Ontario Brain Institute and Ontario Institute for Cancer Research to train researchers in advanced computing, AI, ML, and data management skills.
