Research Computing
• Focus on computing in support of research, and research
in applications of advanced computing
• Scholarly (and artistic) endeavors broadly considered
•
•
The mission of the Research Computing Division of UITS is to enable
new scientific discoveries, scholarly achievements, and artistic creations
by members of the Indiana University community and the national
research community; to create tools that support scholarly activities; and
to engage in outreach and economic development activities that improve
the quality of life in the State of Indiana, the nation, and the world. The
Research Computing Division of UITS supports the research and
research education activities of IU scholars, artists, clinicians, engineers,
and students at all IU campuses
