This project is funded with 1.9 million euros by the European Union\u2019s Horizon Europe programme and is coordinated by <\/span>Xavier Luri<\/b>, director of the <\/span>Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona<\/span><\/a> (ICCUB) and member of the <\/span>Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia<\/span><\/a> (IEEC \u2014 Institut d\u2019Estudis Espacials de Catalunya). Luri is also professor at the Faculty of Physics of the University of Barcelona.<\/span><\/p>\n SPACIOUS (Science PlAtform Cloud Infrastructure for Outsize Usage Scenarios), which will be conducted from January 2024 to December 2027, aims to become a <\/span>turning point for exploiting scientific data from space missions more efficiently<\/b>, through a new computational framework in astrophysics based on big data and data mining technologies. With this innovative approach, the project will be helpful in space science to handle the growing volume of highly complex data from space missions such as <\/span>Gaia<\/span><\/a>, the <\/span>European Space Agency<\/span><\/a>‘s (ESA) flagship project for stellar mapping of our galaxy, or the recently launched Euclid\u2014also ESA\u2014, dedicated to better understand dark energy and dark matter by accurately measuring the accelerating expansion of the universe.
