Around 20 years ago, researchers were proposing new ideas that led to the current AI revolution. What is being explored in your academic unit right now that will lead to the next revolution in computing in the next 10-20 years?
The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is launching a Call for Innovative Research Visions (CIRV) to discover exactly that kind of forward-looking work: research that’s still early, perhaps a bit speculative, but has the kind of catalytic potential that could reshape where the field goes long-term. CCC will use these submissions to help guide the focus of future visioning Task Forces, so this is a direct line from what’s happening in your department to what the broader community organizes around.
Submitting is straightforward: share an abstract or short description of your department’s most visionary research. The leader of the research project could:
- Inspire a brand-new CCC visioning Task Force
- Be invited to shape a visioning initiative alongside CCC Council Members
- Get your academic unit’s research highlighted on CRA/CCC channels
We’re welcoming one submission per academic unit, and submissions must come from the leader of the academic unit (department chair or equivalent).
What’s We’re Looking For
The form is quick to fill out. You’ll need:
- Contact information: your name, title, and email
- Confirmation that you’re the head (or equivalent) of the academic unit coordinating this research
- Institution information: institution name and department/school/college name
- Research details: the name of the lead researcher on the project, plus a brief description or abstract of the research (with links to any published papers, if available)
Submit Today
The form closes 11:59 PM ET on July 23. We’re looking forward to hearing about the inspiring computing research taking place in your department!
