Harvard Initiative in Innovative Computing
Encyclopedia
The Harvard Initiative in Innovative Computing (IIC) was an interdisciplinary research and development center at Harvard, which ended in 2009.
The IIC was dedicated to using innovative computing tools to accelerate discovery across all of the scientific disciplines. The IIC’s researchers work in close collaboration with scientists and engineers in other fields, fostering a two-way collaborative flow of ideas and inventions between basic science and computer science, academia and industry, professional staff and faculty, teachers and students. The IIC trains the next generation of creative and computationally capable scientists, and communicates with the public at large the value of computing in science, and about the science it enables.
