RENCI stands for the Renaissance Computing Institute. It is a multidisciplinary collaboration between UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke University, and North Carolina State University, with Engagement Sites at UNC Asheville, Duke University, Eastern Carolina University, North Carolina University, UNC Chapel Hill, UNC Charlotte, and the UNC Costal Studies Institute.
According to the mission statement, "RENCI develops and deploys advanced technologies to enable research discoveries and practical innovations." Much of the work of RENCI focuses on large-scale information and data visualization.
Why is this important? It provides an effective visual-cognitive means of understanding complex data from a variety of disciplines, and also supports the collaboration of researchers across a variety of disciplines. It has the potential to support larger-scale decision-making and problem-solving in our technology-dependent, interconnected world.
