Distributed Computing on Grids

The research group on Distributed Computing on Grids develops its work in the development of distributed computing architectures at pan-European level: federated identity systems for user authentication, advanced software for cloud environments, and data management in distributed infrastructures. The group puts special emphasis on the applicability to scientific use cases. In recent years the support has been concentrated especially in the areas of Particle Physics, Nuclear Fusion, Materials and Environmental Sciences. The group has a strong visibility at the European level in the development of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) both at the policy level, and the level of software development to support the EOSC in the deployment of a common area to store open data, available to all scientific communities in the continent.
