The EuroCC project series aims to establish a network of National Competence Centres (NCC) in the field of high-performance computing (HPC) in all partner countries. These NCCs coordinate activities in all HPC-related fields at the national level and serve as a single contact point in their respective countries for customers from industry, science, (future) HPC experts and the general public alike.
The goal of EuroCC 2 is to further expand the network of National Competence Centres (NCC) in the most efficient way, while continuing to address the differences in the maturity of HPC deployment in Europe, for which improvement has already been noted. Therefore, in addition to high-level management to monitor progress in the NCCs’ development, the main task of the overall activity is to support national centres in setting up their individual operational frameworks, while accessing and making the most of the experience and expertise currently available at national and European level. To support this, EuroCC 2 is working closely with CASTIEL 2 and this time will also involve the Centres of Excellence.
Half of the funding for the EuroCC projects comes from the EU through the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking [JU] and the other half from national funding programs within the partner countries.
