The new virtual access (VA) facility STRUCTURE4EXP has been made available for the calculation of some basic properties of the structure of atomic nuclei. The website was developed by a group at the Department of Physics and INFN of Milan, with Imane Moumene playing a leading role. The initiative is in the framework of the EUROLABS project funded by the EU, and includes two other virtual facilities developed at the nodes of Seville and Krakow. Thanks to specially developed interfaces, these platforms allow even non-expert users to easily utilize a series of codes developed by theoretical nuclear physicists to perform calculations of spectroscopic properties and reaction cross sections, to be subsequently compared with experimental findings.
