Mutualised tools

GRICAD provides the entire Grenoble higher education and research community with a gitlab collaborative work platform.

This is an implementation of the gitlab community edition software, installed on the university’s servers.

This platform will enable you to create and share projects, while benefiting from a number of features such as :

• version and repository management (git)
• continuous integration
• website generation
• bug ticket management
• wiki

They are accessible to all the site’s scientific communities, external collaborators on research projects and students.

The electronic laboratory notebook collects and centralises all the information essential for reproducing a scientific experiment, it is the dematerialised digital version of the laboratory notebook. It can be used to meet quality and scientific integrity requirements by guaranteeing the traceability of the scientific method and the reproducibility of data and research results. It also has legal value, enabling you to assert your rights in terms of intellectual property.
The electronic laboratory notebook offered by GRICAD is an instance of eLabFTW, a free, open-source software package developed by Deltablot. This general-purpose, customisable tool is designed for research units in all disciplines.
ElabFTW is both an electronic laboratory notebook, and therefore a useful tool for manipulations and experiments, but it is also a structuring tool at laboratory level to bring quality and organisation to laboratory management and life.

Jupyter notebooks (for Julia, Python and R) are digital notebooks that use a web interface to develop, document and execute code in a variety of languages, document and execute code in different languages. They are therefore interactive work environments, accessible via a web browser.

GRICAD offers a JupyterHub platform that provides access to notebooks via a web server, as well as the ability to run a jupyter through a job submitted on the computing machines.

Binder is an online service for creating and sharing notebook environments via a code repository (git, gitlab, etc.). It enables you to run demonstrations and work collaboratively. The service is currently in Beta version and can only be accessed via UGA networks.
