Unidata Support Unidata Support
Providing World-Class support to its community is at the heart of the Unidata Program. Maintaining the highest possible level of service in the face of significant increases in data options, volumes and tools, as well as in the number and diversity of the community, is a challenge that the Unidata Program Center embraces. Unidata provides direct support via email for its software packages to institutions offering college-level courses for credit, and to non-profit institutions with education or research missions.
