Yes, new project, Zivis.
But administratos have NOT yet give the go ahead for integration into boincstats.
It was thought to be a local project, but obviously they are now surpased by people from all the world joining in.
Project sciense: to traze particle movements on superheated plasma. Related to fussion dry run on future ITER through CIEMAT spanish organisation. See following pages for more info: (english)
http://www.ciemat.es/portal.do
Basics: Public support behind (not a corporation).
First aim was to involve people from Saragossa (Spain) in a shared computation experience (there is a link even to neigborhoods statistics with prizes FOR LOCALS ONLY.
Copypaste a mail from one of the adminstrators in its forum:

Hello, we woke up of the siesta
Zivis project aims to create a distributed infrastructure in Zaragoza but it is open for everybody. At this moment, the only difference is the fact that the awards are only offered to people living in this great city.
Of course, we encourage all of you to participate and collaborate in this project which aim always included to increase the knowledge about Zaragoza abroad.
About the science behind the application, let me offer you a short introduction. What we are sending to the participants to calculate are particles trajectories inside a fusion device. Each work unit includes several particles to calculate. The result of the computation include significant values of the simulation, and sometimes values for its visualization. As you supose, dynamics in plasma is a complex problem and we solve them with stochastical differential equations. That's why the name of the application in boinc is langevin.

BTW, Zaragoza is Saragossa, just spanish spelling...
