Building a highly-scalable and flexible Cloud infrastructure

VENUS-C is a project funded under the European Commission’s 7th Framework Programme drawing its strength from a joint co-operation between computing service providers and scientific user communities to develop, test and deploy a large, Cloud computing infrastructure for science and SMEs in Europe.

7 Partner User Scenarios

VENUS-C User Scenarios are partner affiliations from academic, research and small commercial organisations that are developing their applications for VENUS-C. The scenarios span 7 applications: bioinformatics, systems biology, drug discovery, civil engineering, civil protection and emergencies, and marine biodiversity data.

15 Pilots

VENUS-C has provided seed funds for 15 Pilots to support the testing and deployment of our Cloud infrastructure. The pilots span applications for architecture, biology, bioinformatics, chemistry, earth sciences, healthcare, maritime surveillance, mathematics, physics and social media.
