Risk Fund for Research – FORINVES (5th Ed.): Cyber-Enabled Discovery and Innovation – Costa Rica
Costa Rica´s National Council for Scientific and Technological Research (CONICIT)

The Cyber-Enabled Discovery and Innovation – Costa Rica (CDI-CR) initiative has been designed to yield revolutionary research outcomes made possible by innovations and advances in computational thinking. Computational thinking is defined comprehensively to encompass computational concepts, methods, models, algorithms, and tools. Applied in challenging and compelling research and education contexts, computational thinking promises a profound impact on Costa Rica´s ability to generate and apply new knowledge and positively affect its citizens´ lives. With an emphasis on bold, multidisciplinary activities that, through computational thinking, promise radical, paradigm-changing, CDI-CR promotes transformative research within Costa Rica. Accordingly, investigators are encouraged to come together in the development of far-reaching, high-risk research and education agendas that capitalize on innovations in, and/or innovative use of, computational thinking to create new knowledge and societal impact far beyond today´s capabilities. CDI-CR projects are expected to build upon productive intellectual partnerships involving investigators from academe, industry and/or other types of organizations, including international entities, that advance CDI-CR objectives.
