Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre

**About Us** The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre — advancing structural science collaboratively. **About the CCDC** The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) is a global leader in structural chemistry data, software, and knowledge for materials and life sciences research and development. Specializing in the collation, preservation, and application of scientific structural data, CCDC offers the renowned [Cambridge Structural Database (CSD)](https://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/solutions/about-the-csd/), a trusted resource containing fully curated organic and metal-organic structures utilized by researchers worldwide. In addition to providing essential data services, CCDC is committed to inspiring the next generation of scientists through educational outreach and programs [including PhD sponsorships](https://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/community/ccdc-for-the-community/phd-studentships/). As a non-profit organization, CCDC empowers scientists from diverse backgrounds to achieve their research goals through initiatives like [the FAIRE Access Programme](https://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/community/ccdc-for-the-community/faire-grants/). With a vision to inspire structural science and contribute to a better world, CCDC’s strategic priorities focus on advancing data accessibility, driving scientific impact, fostering professional development, and delivering value to stakeholders across the globe. **We Shape the Future** - With [**software and data services**](https://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/solutions/software/) that accelerate the discovery and development of new medicines and chemical products; - By promoting [**collaboration across academia and industry**](https://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/community/) to generate new discoveries in structural science; - By inspiring a new generation of structural chemists globally through [**education and outreach**](https://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/Community/educationalresources/). **Our Vision** To inspire structural science and build a better world. **Our Mission** We will significantly advance our charitable impact and be the essential resource powering the structural chemistry ecosystem as: - The unifying, trusted partner for structural design data, computational science, and solutions - A value generation hub contributing positively to the global economy by enabling scientific exploration and commercialization to address unmet market needs - A powerful source for social good empowering individuals and organizations at all levels in society to participate in ‘advancing structural science’. **Our Strategic Priorities** **Data reimagined:** Provide a unified data experience connecting molecular structure and properties. **Science impact:** Be the world leader in enabling structural data-inspired research. **People:** Enable individuals from all walks of life to contribute to structural science and develop professionally. **Value:** Create a thriving ecosystem delivering increasing value for all stakeholders.
