Computational Science Research Center

Critical Link with Government & Industry

The CSRC is envisioned as the coordinating body of a partnership that brings together diverse academic researchers and scientific disciplines as well as a partnership between academia, government, and industry to advance a common need for access to computational science technologies and scientists. The CSRC partnership with government and industry is critical to the success of our graduate training programs and is fulfilled in several ways.

The CSRC ACSESS (Applied Computational Science and Engineering Student Showcase) program is designed to actively engage students in CSRC-industry partnerships. ACSESS creates student mentoring, internship, networking, and sponsorship opportunities as well as an annual forum for students to showcase their research progress and innovative work on real-life problems. The ACSESS program and impact of CSRC-industry partnerships provide a truly interdisciplinary experience for graduate students that prepares them for career choices in academia or industry and often guides students to the next step in their careers.
