What if you could help improve weather forecasting while listening to music? What if you could study bacteria while tweeting? What if you could help treat childhood cancer while posting an update? Join thousands of volunteers now Introduction Accelerate research with no investment of time or money. When you become a World Community Grid volunteer, you donate your device’s spare computing power to help scientists solve the world’s biggest problems in health and sustainability. World Community Grid is currently accepting donated power from Windows, Mac, Linux and Android devices. How it works Challenge Scientists need help They’re searching the microscopic world for answers to our biggest problems, but it’s hard to know where to start. That’s why many use computer simulations to point them in the right direction, just as explorers rely on maps to find their way. Finding answers is tough, and without more computers, doing scientific research can be a bit like exploring with an incomplete map Solution Your device makes a difference World Community Grid turns your device into an explorer. You choose a research area, download a toolkit called BOINC and join the thousands of volunteers helping to chart the microscopic jungle. Impact Get results that matter Results that matter. As a World Community Grid volunteer, your device does research calculations when it’s idle, so just by using it as you do every day, you can help scientists get results in months instead of decades. With your help, they can identify the most important areas to study in the lab, bringing them one step closer to discoveries that save lives and address global problems. As a World Community Grid volunteer, your device performs research calculations when it’s idle, helping scientists identify promising areas to study in the lab, bringing them closer to life-saving discoveries.
