We’ve funded a range of projects to guide our roadmap for the future
UNITED: A Framework for federated computing roadmaps
User needs informed technologies for environmental data. Informs strategic planning for a national federated compute infrastructure using environmental data as a pilot.
Given its interdisciplinary, data-driven nature and broad societal impact, the project will explore real-world applications, technical needs and policy considerations across diverse environmental data users in public, private and third sectors.
