UNICORN Network originated at a March 2024 meeting of 40 data coordinating leaders from 14 academic centers from across the United States. UNICORN Network builds on this origin as a free-standing, member-driven organization.
Membership in the Network is open to anyone interested in academic DCC activities at scale. Membership is at the individual level, not the DCC or institutional level.
