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.

This program convenes mid-career scientists who demonstrate leadership in their research careers and in promoting meaningful dialogue between science and society.

Each year, 15 Leshner Fellows from disciplines at the nexus of important science-society issues convene for a week of public engagement and science communication training and public engagement plan development in Washington, DC, then continue their activities while at their home institutions during the fellowship year. The 2020-2021 cohort will be comprised of active researchers in the field of artificial intelligence, new and emerging technologies that seek to replicate, mimic or augment human cognitive capabilities. Candidates should have an excellent record of scholarship in their field and demonstrate a strong interest in and commitment to public engagement. The term of the fellowship is June 2020 – May 2021.
