Leaders in Technical Collaboration
The NAG Ethos is: Collaborative, consultative, consensus-based, principled, transparent
NAG was founded on collaboration and continues today to work with expert individuals and organisations from industry and academia all over the world. These collaborative projects are highly valued and have resulted in extensive contributions to our principal product, the NAG Library. Many of our existing staff first worked with us as students or interns. NAG's vision is to be universally recognised as the preferred partner for collaboration.
