Cyberinfrastructure Council - Please see University Research IT Portfolio
As of January 2013, the Cyberinfrastructure Council was dissolved to make way for the new University of Utah IT Governance process. Many of the Council's former responsibilities now fall under the purview of the University Research IT Porfolio. The Cyberinfrastructure Council will soon be moved to UIT's list of archived committees.
Council Charter
"Although good infrastructure is often taken for granted and noticed only when it stops functioning, it is among the most complex and expensive thing that society creates. The newer term cyberinfrastructure refers to infrastructure based upon distributed computer, information and communication technology. If infrastructure is required for an industrial economy, then we could say that cyberinfrastructure is required for a knowledge economy." – Revolutionizing Science and Engineering Through Cyberinfrastructure, p.5 ![]()
The Campus Cyberinfrastructure (CI) Council has the mission of identifying both strategic CI opportunities and specific technical infrastructure requirements to advance the research and academic objectives of the University.
