The Spanishspanish branch of the international project [[Blue Brain|Cajal Blue Brain]] (called Cajal Blue Brain) is carrying out in the facilities of the CeSViMa. The project also uses the computing resources of Magerit supercomputer

The center also organizes conferences about supercomputing, new developments in hardware and software, scientific publications... and other science activities. For example, it collaborates in the retransmission of a [[Solar eclipse]] from [[Novosibirsk]], [[Russia]].<ref>[http://www.solareclipse.es/eclipse2008/en.html Solar Eclipse Broadcasting, August 1st, 2008]</ref>
