Your feedback was really useful for preparing a funding proposal on this theme, and it's a pleasure to announce that the proposed project, called Citizen Cyberlab, has been accepted by the European Commission. The project will involve a number of institutions in London, Paris and Geneva, including CERN – you can read more about it in the first comment of this post. A specific goal for CERN in the project will be to build an educational game based on LHC@home. The project should start by the end of this year. However, we plan to start improving the links between LHC@home and online education already this summer, in a collaboration between Peer-to-Peer University (P2PU) and the Citizen Cyberscience Centre. I look forward to telling you more about that when the project kicks off in June.

The challenge has three tasks, and gives the opportunity to everyone to learn how you can from your home be part of the scientific community, joining different projects and solving easy tasks (installing BOINC, posting your first credits, etc.) This first challenge will help other people to join any BOINC project. The next step will be the creation of a specific challenge to join Test4Theory, as this research project is a bit more complicated due to we need to install VirtualBox. If you want to help us in getting more people involved in this project, as well as in the BOINC community, don't hesitate and join the P2P Test4Theory study group, and help us creating new challenges, mentoring new users, etc. As usual any comments and feedback are welcome! Best regards, The team! Update: The P2PUniversity has a blog post about the challenge :) ]]> Tue, 21 Feb 2012 15:47:18 GMT http://lhcathome2.cern.ch/test4theory/forum_thread.php?id=802 http://lhcathome2.cern.ch/test4theory/forum_thread.php?id=802 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 10:41:02 GMT
