Materials Cloud

Materials Cloud is a web platform conceived to assist Materials Scientists

A platform for open science with educational, research, and archiving tools, simulation software and services, curated and raw data.

Party-ing message from the Director

It’s been an intense and exciting 12 years, and we leave behind many happy memories and achievements; possibly, the happiest ones come from reflecting on the difference we made in the lives of many students and researchers in Switzerland and all over the world. The final slides (MARVEL Vision, MARVEL Science, and MARVEL Outreach and Legacy) and the MARVEL Final Report summarize everything that has happened in these years. The spirit but also the practice of MARVEL will continue, thanks to what we have built with CECAM, PSI, Empa, and CSCS, and, in the digital world, with the Materials Cloud. So, stay tuned!
