Supporting the long tail of science

VENUS-C provides new cloud solutions for individual and small research groups across diverse disciplines, with the aim of accelerating discovery. End-users are typical of the vast majority of researchers that have never had access to supercomputing networks and have relied on desktop resources.

Boosting the competitiveness of small businesses

VENUS-C supports small European businesses to drive innovation through cloud-powered solutions. These businesses include a start-up, Green Prefab, as a direct spin-out. These businesses deliver services for engineering and drug discovery on demand and drive the economy.

Creating new public services

VENUS-C demonstrates the value-add of cloud computing for the public sector and citizens at large. Services span emergencies and civil protection, healthcare and monitoring fish species, which is vital to ensure the sustainability of living marine resources.
