Welcome to the Computing Community Consortium

The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is an organization whose goal is to catalyze and empower the U.S. computing research community to pursue audacious, high-impact research.

Established in 2006 through a cooperative agreement between the Computing Research Association (CRA)—representing over 220 North American academic departments, industrial research labs, and professional societies with computing research interests—and the U.S. National Science Foundation, the CCC provides:

A voice for the national computing research community. The CCC facilitates the development of a bold, multi-themed vision for computing research and communicates that vision to a wide range of major stakeholders.

The CCC is governed by an 18-member Council. Ed Lazowska (University of Washington) serves as Chair. Susan Graham (University of California at Berkeley) serves as Vice Chair. Ann Drobnis serves as Director.
