About the consortium
The UK Computational Cosmology Consortium (UK-CCC) is a highly significant
collaboration with participation from all the major British groups using
large-scale computing resources for cosmological research. This includes
members at the Universities of Cambridge, Cardiff, Durham, Oxford and Sussex,
Imperial College and the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh. Two international
partners at Munich and Toronto, with specialist expertise, are also included
in this collaboration. A key strength of the consortium is its the interdisciplinary
nature which brings together those with interests ranging from the particle
physics of the early universe to late galaxy evolution, allowing the UK-CCC to develop
a seamless history of the Universe from the earliest moments after the Big
Bang through to the present day.
