ScipionCloud development has been possible thanks to European Horizon 2020, the biggest EU Research and Innovation programme, which has financed the following projects:
MoBrain
“A Competence Center to Serve Translational Research from Molecule to Brain”.*
We are involved on Task 2: Cryo-EM in the cloud: bringing clouds to the data.
Information about the project
WestLife
“Bring the world of complex data analysis in Structural Biology to a simple Web browser-based Virtual Research Environment”.
The group is responsible for the Integration of existing Cryo-EM web services, Scipion Web Tools, on the VRE.

Scipion has been chosen as the main use case to design Westlife architecture as described [here].
Instruct Research and Development pilot project
Pilot EM cloud Computing was a project to deploy and test Scipion software on AWS EC2 platform and create a public Scipion AMI that could be used by EM users to easily instantiate its own Scipion Virtual Machine on the AWS cloud.
The aim was to have a standalone Scipion AMI that could be used as a stand-alone or as a elastic cluster.
