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.

Computing and data management services
Computing and data management services to support scientists throughout the research lifecycle are provided by e-Science. STFC, in partnership with the other Research Councils, funded a coordinated initiative in e-Science from 2001 to 2006, coordinated by RCUK which underwent an International Review in 2009. Current research and support for STFC researchers in e-science are provided by:
Scientific data
In addition to the services provided by STFC e-Science, data is also provided by STFC to researchers:
