Ibercivis is a private, non-profit foundation with the aim of carrying out and promoting Citizen Science .
Although the Foundation is currently devoted to promoting all types of Citizen Science initiatives, it has its origins in the first volunteer computing projects launched in Spain.
The Board of Trustees, established in 2011, is composed of representatives from university institutes, the city of Zaragoza , the Aragon Regional Government and the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation.
The organization works on a project basis. Since a project is shorter than a few years, most projects have already been completed.
Projects (selection)
- Nuclear fusion research : With the application fusion , particle trajectories in fusion plasma were calculated. The starting point is the Heliac Flexible TJ-II fusion research reactor at the CIEMAT research center (Centro de Investigationes Energeticas, Medioambientales y Tecnologicas). The results are to flow into the development of the ITER . It was a research project of the Institute of Complex Systems Biocomputing and Physics (BIFI) at the University of Zaragoza in the field of nuclear fusion. It was the first BOINC- based project in Spain and was announced in the BOINC forum in November 2007. The BOINC platform has been used for other projects since then.
- Materials research : The applications materiales32 and materiales64 for the BOINC platform worked in the field of materials, crystal lattice magnetism and the development of superconductors .
- A project on the subject of cell biology served to introduce and research citizen science into teaching in schools.
- Another three-year project was started in 2018 to present Citizen Science in schools. It is funded by Erasmus + . Cooperation partners include a. the Institute of Geophysics of the Polish Academy of Sciences , the KU Leuven and the European Schoolnet .
- One in May 2020 from a Biophysics group of the CSIC project launched simulated using the platform BOINC the interaction of some known antiviral agents with the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of SARS-CoV-2 .
