UW-Madison Center of computing Research, Education and Innovation for the Next Wave of Computing Systems
WHY N+1?
Computing innovation is suffering from a tech talent shortage, a disconnect between research and industry, and a lack of applied skill learning. To address this, N+1 offers a new model of tech education that blends applied learning, advanced research, and innovation. N+1 takes a collaborative approach—students, faculty, and industries—creating a community to bring transformational innovation to its full potential.
WHY UW?
With 4,900 students, growing at a rate of 25% a year – UW is a fast-growing leader in computer and data sciences. #1 in Logic & Verification, #1 in Storage Systems, #3 in Programming Languages, #4 in Computer Architecture, Databases, #6 in Operating Systems, #8 in Visualization. With high national rankings and a rapidly expanding student body, the future is made here.
WHY NOW?
Over 90% of the world’s data was created in the last 2 years alone. The pace of change in disruptive technology advancements has dramatically increased and will continue at a blistering pace. Novel innovations like Artificial General Intelligence, Edge Computing, and Web3 are poised to revolutionize every industry, company, and city by creating more intelligent and data-driven processes and results. Now, we must turn that data into knowledge and innovation to enhance the rhythms of everyday life.
