UBC is partnered with Oracle for Research to support researchers in all aspects of discovery. This partnership makes it simple for researchers to host, store and analyze their data with our cloud infrastructure solutions for free.
UBC and Oracle get researchers started on the cloud quickly. We offer several awards that support research with cloud credits, as well as project grants, for work that fulfill the following criteria:
- The applicant(s) identify a specific project for which they’d like to use Oracle Cloud.
- There is a demonstrable need for cloud computing resources throughout the given project.
- The involved researchers are willing to work with cloud architects to optimize their utilization of Oracle Cloud resources.
