What is Cybera?

E-infrastructure — also called cyberinfrastructure — is the advanced system of networks and computers that was created by and for university research. It is the vanguard of the Internet.

This publicly funded backbone of the Internet requires a neutral expert organization to oversee its development, as well as help pilot new projects “above-the-network”, to make us more enterprising.

In Alberta, Cybera is the not-for-profit organization with this mandate.

Cybera is located in Calgary and Edmonton, and is funded by Alberta Enterprise and Advanced Education, as well as members.
