Who is on board?

The EuroCC activities—with currently 33 members and associated countries on board, is coordinated by the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS). This includes 32 NCCs established during the first project phase and one new center. Each NCC not only coordinates a national network for providing services to HPC users from industry, academia, and public administration but is also helping to establish a strong foundation for a European layer of HPC competence. EuroCC 2 monitors progress in the NCCs’ development, and supports the expansion (for the existing NCCs) or creation (for the new NCCs) of their individual operational frameworks. The project aims to elevate the participating countries to a common high level in the fields of HPC, HPDA and artificial intelligence (AI). To fulfill this task within the first phase of the project, EuroCC has already established National Competence Centres (NCCs) with highly qualified teams in the participating countries, which are responsible for surveying and documenting the core HPC, HPDA, and AI activities and competencies in their respective countries. Phase 2 of the project aims to make HPC more widely available to different users from science, industry, public administration, and society.
