The UC Regents have approved a new school of Computing, Information, and Data Sciences (SCIDS) at UC San Diego.

The new school combines the strengths of the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), a national leader in high-performance and data-intensive computing, and the Halicioğlu Data Science Institute (HDSI), a pioneering interdisciplinary institute that advances data science and AI education and research.

Together, these resources form the foundational pillars of SCIDS and will position UC San Diego to support the growing demand for data science and computing expertise across the research and educational mission of the university.
