Scientific Computing and Computation

STFC provides world-class expertise and support for scientific computing and computational science to both academia and industry. The Council's efficient services enable predictions from complex theories to be calculated from first principles and be compared directly with experimental data, often requiring the analysis of millions of megabytes of data. In this section you will find details of our current facilities and projects.
