The Digital Research Alliance of Canada supports thousands of researchers in Canadian higher education institutions by providing digital research infrastructure (DRI) tools and services. At the University of Victoria, many academics use these services for data storing, management and processing. In this video series, we cover what advanced research computing (ARC) is about and how it's being applied for scientific discovery.

This project is supported in part by funding from the Digital Research Alliance of Canada. The videos were created and directed by Jaimie Greasley, a PhD candidate at UVic in the NSERC CREATE Quantum Computing Scholarship and Training Program managed by Quantum BC. The videographer and editor is Jeff Birmingham.
