Ibercivis

Introduction

Ibercivis is a project run through the University of Zaragoza in Spain. It is the first Spanish BOINC project, and is designed to not only expand on scientific knowledge, but to bring science closer to the people of Spain. It provides an important tool to Spanish researchers, while allowing citizens of all ages to interact and learn with the researchers while they dedicate computer time.

Ibercivis most importantly a national initiative, so it is not focused on one individual field of science. However, Ibercivis sub projects are currently exploring new ideas in the areas of nuclear fusion, protein docking, materials testing, the chemical strucutre of memory, and light on the nano scale.

Science

[The Science section might (or might not) be divided into two parts: {1} general discussion of the field, and then {2} a discussion of the project's specific endeavor. For instance, in LHC@home, we might have {1} "Science of the Large Hardon Collider" and then {2} "Science of LHC@home"
The above is desirable, because in most cases, the field of research is really fascinating, and presenting this in broad terms-- outlining the big questions-- can make it easier to understand the particulars of the project and why it is important. ]

Results

[Where known, we should attempt to keep track of each project's publications. A good list to draw from is here. ]

Links of Interest

[Why recreate the wheel; there are lots of great sources out there.; a good list of sources can be really useful to the reader.]

Ibercivis in the Classroom

[For each project, please add a "[Projectname] in the Classroom" section-- with a link toVolunteer Computing In the Classroom and an article named "[Projectname] in the Classroom". (Then please add "[Projectname] in the Classroom" to the list on the main Education page.)]
