<-- to UARC's homeWhat is a Collaboratory?

A report on collaboratories, prepared under the auspices of the National Research Council, described a collaboratory as a

'' . . . center without walls in which the nation's researchers can perform research without regard to geographical location -- interacting with colleagues, accessing instrumentation, sharing data and computational resources, and accessing information from digital libraries.''

The collaboratory infrastructure supports distributed interaction between people, access to remote information sources and digital libraries, and access and interaction with remote and unique facilities.
