CCC Blog

Catalyzing the computing research community and enabling the pursuit of innovative, high-impact research.

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.

The following is a guest blog from CCC Chair Mark D. Hill.

In these troubled times of COVID-19, it is especially helpful to remember a joie de vivre. The Women of (Computer Science) Theory (WIT) convincingly demonstrate this—together but with appropriate social distance—in WIT Presents – I Will Survive (3 minutes).

Several performers have connections with the Computing Research Association (CRA) and the Computing Community Consortium (CCC), including CCC Council member Ronitt Rubinfeld (MIT) and former CCC Council member Tal Rabin (Algorand Foundation). Rebecca Wright (Barnard College) is on the CRA-Widening Participation Board of Directors, Shuchi Chawla (University of Wisconsin Madison) attended the CCC Theoretical Foundations for Social Computing in 2015, Nicole Immorlica (MSR) attended the CCC Fairness Workshop in 2018, and Katrina Ligett (Hebrew University) attended the CCC Economics and Fairness workshop in 2019 and was a CCC CI Fellow in 2009.
