Computing Community Consortium Blog

The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.


Reminder: Join a Roundtable to Discuss the Next Grand Challenges in Computing

February 28th, 2024 / in Announcements / by Catherine Gill

The Computing Community Consortium’s (CCC) Grand Challenges task force is engaging in a new visioning activity to identify the next grand challenges that will shape the future of our field. We’re seeking visionary thinkers and researchers to join us in this exciting exploration.

 

These virtual roundtable discussions will aim to consider the whole of the field of computing in this context and ask what the new fundamentally “computing research” issues might be that could produce a new set of “Grand Challenges” for our field.  In the way in which challenges around Health, Climate, Energy, Sustainability, and Agriculture draw those from many disciplines (including computing research) into their grand challenges, what are the fundamentally new computing research questions that could inspire and motivate a similar global, interdisciplinary response?  What computing challenges are truly “Grand Challenges”?

 

CCC expects to host 3-to-5 virtual sessions in spring 2024. For more information, please read the full Call for Participation on the CCC website. To apply to join one of these virtual roundtables, please fill out this brief form.
