The Computing Research Institute (CRI) aims to bolster research and education in computationally intensive science and engineering disciplines. The primary goals include enhancing research activities through a better understanding of complex applications and developing advanced models and problem-solving strategies. The institutional structure comprises a directorate, advisory committees, and an external board featuring leaders in academia and industry. Upcoming workshops will focus on computational challenges in biology and nanotechnology, along with advances in parallel algorithms. Faculty positions and graduate fellowships support educational initiatives.
