<h4>Computational and data science research to enable discoveries in fundamental physics</h4>

{% capture irishead %}
IRIS-HEP is a software institute funded by the National Science Foundation. It is developing state-of-the-art software cyberinfrastructure required for the challenges of data intensive scientific research at the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) at CERN, and other planned HEP experiments of the 2020's. These facilities are discovery machines which aim to understand the fundamental building blocks of nature and their interactions. [Full Overview](/about/overview.html)
