EU LAUNCHES HIGH COMPUTING PERFORMANCE INITIATIVE

THE EUROPEAN High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking has opened its first calls to fund research and innovation activities in high performance computing (HPC). The calls have a total budget of EUR190 million, and focus on areas highlighted in the Joint Undertaking’s work plan for 2019: the development of essential technologies for high-performance computing hardware and software, supporting manufacturing and engineering small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to use HPC in innovative ways, and establishing HPC Competence Centres in every EuroHPC participating country. We offer a piece where we explore and explain how universities and colleges can participate in and benefit from this initiative.
