ABOUT THE CENTRE FOR COMPUTING FOR SOCIAL GOOD & PHILANTHROPY
The Centre for Computing for Social Good & Philanthropy (CCSGP) is newly set up in March 2021 by the School of Computing (SoC), National University of Singapore (NUS). Leveraging on the students’ motivation to deepen their knowledge and expand their skills, the Centre helps to cultivate students’ interest and abilities to advance social good as well as support the School’s long-term goal in grooming leaders for the IT industry. The Centre is made possible with a generous donation from Mrs Lee Choon Guan Trust Fund.
Our Vision
