The University of Illinois Urbana Champaign’s Advanced Digital Sciences Center (ADSC) is a Singapore-based research facility. Led by University of Illinois faculty, ADSC focuses on breakthrough innovations that are expected to have a major impact in transforming human beings' utilization of information technology.
Vision:
To transform the way people and organizations use and interact with information technologies and contribute to the advance of the knowledge-based economy in Singapore and beyond.
Mission:
1. Enhance Singapore's position as a hub for cutting-edge research in information technologies, interactive digital media, and adaptive cyber infrastructure.
2. Facilitate interactions between University of Illinois researchers and research and industry partners in Singapore and Asia.
Those goals are achieved through:
• Research projects at ADSC in Interactive Digital Media, the Smart Grid, and other areas, initiated and led by University of Illinois faculty. ADSC's Smart Grid subprogram leverages Illinois's longstanding expertise in information technology for the power grid, and seeks to ensure that the cyber infrastructure will support monitoring and control of the grid, the buildings it powers, and the objects and activities inside those buildings in a reliable, secure, and efficient manner.
• Commercialization of technology from ADSC and Illinois through licensing agreements, spin-offs, and entry of Illinois startups into the Asian market.
History:
ADSC was established in 2009. Its core funding comes from a S$50 million grant from Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR).
