BOINC lets you contribute the power of your home computer to global scientific research projects, in a variety of interesting areas. You can dedicate your computer's 'idle time' to just one project, or any combination of them.

kilobox is an expanding team that you can join. BOINC doesn't require that you join a team, you can remain an individual and crunch through your projects on you own, but it's more fun to join a team. We get to chart our progress against other teams in the UK and globally.

Whether you dream of finding new worlds, discovering new proteins, want to help build particle accelerators, or look into the future of our planet or really want to be the first to find aliens, there is a project for you.
