GRICAD is a Research Support Unit whose mission is to support the scientific communities of the Grenoble site in all their problems concerning research data, artificial intelligence, and intensive computing. It offers several platforms (storage, HPC, AI, Gitlab, Jupyter) to meet the needs of the research community.
GRICAD is supported by CNRS, Grenoble Alpes University, Grenoble INP Institute of Engineering and Management – UGA and INRIA.
In addition to supporting the use of the infrastructures, GRICAD offers training and animation on the themes of data, computing, software engineering, etc. for doctoral students, researchers and laboratory engineers, in close partnership with MaiMoSiNe, a structure for facilitating collaborations with the local economic fabric.
GRICAD works in close collaboration with all the laboratories on the site and the IT departments of the institutions.
For several years, GRICAD has coordinated the Grenoble Alpes Data Unit, which provides operational support for the management of research data throughout its life cycle (from the creation or collection of data to its dissemination in open data or in more restricted access).
GRICAD has strong links with national infrastructures (GENCI for high-performance Computing, France Grille for grid computing and cloud computing, HumaNum and Progedo for infrastructures dedicated to the Humanities and Social Sciences communities) and is involved at the European level in certain projects of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).
