Our Mission
Free to start. Affordable to scale. Always in Canada.
Our mission is simple: to make research computing accessible, affordable, and sovereign for Canada. We exist to remove the barriers that prevent researchers, students, and citizen scientists from accessing the compute resources they need.
By offering free entry-level access and deeply discounted paid tiers, we ensure that science moves forward based on ideas — not on budgets or waitlists.
Build on a Nonprofit Foundation
myresearchcloud.ca is operated by Computing for Humanity, a Canadian registered charity. This foundation allows us to build infrastructure that is driven by community need, not profit.
Our Guiding Principles
Equitable — prioritizing underserved researchers.
Sustainable — repurposing enterprise hardware and reducing e-waste.
Sovereign — hosted entirely in Canada, free from foreign control.
Empowering Canadian Discovery
Our mission is to create a research cloud that grows with Canada’s needs, supporting everything from classrooms to advanced laboratories to citizen science projects. By keeping resources free to start, affordable to scale, and always hosted in Canada, we are building an ecosystem where innovation thrives.
