The activities in the computing infrastructures domain encompass the support to scientific research, the participation in R&D projects aimed to keep LIP in the forefront of IT technologies, and the participation in digital infrastructure initiatives. These activities are mainly focused on grid computing, cloud computing, High Performance Computing, High Throughput Computing and on big data challenges.

LIP is member of the Portuguese National Distributed Computing Infrastructure (INCD) in partnership with LNEC and FCCN. INCD is a digital infrastructure approved in the context of the Portuguese Science Foundation (FCT) strategic infrastructures roadmap. INCD provides computing and data services to the national scientific and academic community in all domains. It supports researchers and their participation in national and international research projects.

LIP participates actively in several international computing infrastructures acting as national contact point, namely: Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG), European Grid Infrastructure (EGI), Iberian Grid Infrastructure (IBERGRID). LIP participates in several projects in the European Open Science Cloud framework. LIP also participates in the national competence center in the context of EuroHPC.

LIP has been participating in many R&D projects in the context of the European framework programme, among them: EGI–ENGAGE (H2020), INDIGO-DATACLOUD (H2020), EOSC-hub (H2020), DEEP-Hybrid-DataCloud (H2020), EOSC-synergy (H2020), EuroCC (H2020), EOSC-Future (H2020) and EGI-ACE (H2020).
