Abstract

In the frame of the Karlsruhe-Russian Astroparticle Data Life Cycle Initiative it was proposed to deploy an educational resource astroparticle.online for the training of students in the field of astroparticle physics. This resource is based on HUBzero, which is an open-source software platform for building powerful websites, which supports scientific discovery, learning, and collaboration. HUBzero has been deployed on the servers of Matrosov Institute for System Dynamics and Control Theory. The educational resource astroparticle.online is being filled with the information covering cosmic messengers, astroparticle physics experiments and educational courses and schools on astroparticle physics. Furthermore, the educational resource astroparticle.online can be used for online collaboration. We present the current status of this project and our first experience of application of this service as a collaboration framework.
