Task Force on Improving Research Infrastructure

In November 2023, Harald Ade (Distinguished Professor, Physic Department) initiated an open letter to voice concerns about how the status of services at NCSU undermines our effectiveness and reputation. The letter was signed and supported by over 260 members across the campus.

The open letter was answered by the administration and led to a university task force to improve research infrastructure. You can follow the most recent developments on this page:
