Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ibercivis is a distributed computing platform, based on BOINC, that allows society to participate on scientific research in a direct way and in real time. The project is administered from Spain, but is open to citizens of other countries who wish to join the initiative. It uses the calculation capacity of the computer in idle moments to carry out tasks derived from an investigation project. Ibercivis brings the citizens closer to leading investigations and makes them participant in the generation of scientific knowledge. At the same time, it provides the scientific community with a powerful calculation tool. The computer turns into an open window to science, creating a channel for the direct dialog between researchers and society.
