François Arago Centre

The François Arago Centre is a project at the Astroparticule et Cosmologie (APC) laboratory and is supported by the IPGP within the Space Campus of Université Paris Denis-Diderot.

The centre was founded in 2010 with the goal to support space-based experiments facing the challenge of data treatment of steadily increasing and complex data sets. The centre provides services, such as computing facilities, data analysis, archiving, and distribution support, access to the heavy-duty computing facilities at CC-IN2P3, and office space to both, ground and space-based projects with strong french involvement. In the spirit of François Arago, who combined many fields of natural science in his work, enabled science by focusing attention on new technologies and supporting scientific development through communication between many disciplines, we want to serve the scientific community. The aim is to bring together scientists from different fields, data and software engineers, the scientific community and the general public in order to best exploit the data provided by todays state-of-the-art experiments.
