+abstract: >-
+  Welcome to fpakc (Finite element PArticle Kinetic Code), a
+  modern object oriented Fortran open-source code for
+  particle simulations of plasma and gases. This code works
+  by simulating charged and neutral particles, following
+  their trajectories, collisions and boundary conditions
+  imposed by the user.
+
+  One of our aims is to make a code easy to maintain as well
+  as easy to use by a variety of reserchers and students.
+
+  This code is currenlty in very early steps of development.
+
+  The code aims to be easy to maintain and easy to use,
+  allowing its application from complex problems to easy
+  examples that can be used, for example, as teaching
+  exercises.
+
+  Parallelization techniques such as OpenMP, MPI will be
+  used to distribute the cpu load. We aim to make fpakc GPU
+  compatible in the future.
+
+  The codefpakc makes use of finite elements to generate
+  meshes in complex geometries. Particle properties are
+  deposited in the nodes and cells of the mesh. The
+  electromagnetic field, with the boundary conditions
+  imposed by the user, is solved also in this mesh.
