Neukom Institute for Computational Science

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Neukom Institute for Computational Science is a collection of offices and laboratory facilities at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. The institute was funded by a donation from Bill Neukom in 2004, then Dartmouth's largest gift for an academic program.[1] The institute provides programs for undergraduates and graduate students as well as encouraging public engagement with computer science through programs such as Neukom Institute Literary Arts Award.
