National Competence Centre Bulgaria

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 the activities in all HPC-related fields at the national level and serve as a single contact point in their respective countries for users from industry, science, (future) HPC experts and the general public alike. Half of the funding for the EuroCC projects comes from the EU through the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking [JU] and the other half comes from national funding programs within the partner countries.

EuroCC3

The mission of EuroCC 3 is to further strengthen the distributed network of National Competence Centres (NCCs) for High-Performance Computing (HPC), supporting their development and service provision across all participating countries. Building on the achievements of previous phases (EuroCC and EuroCC 2), EuroCC 3 focuses on consolidating and continuously improving the network’s activities while broadening the uptake of HPC across Europe. The project unites 36 NCCs, each mandated by its national authority to serve as a one-stop shop for HPC-related expertise, services, and training. With a strong focus on SMEs and industry, the NCCs will support the adoption of HPC through tailored consulting, skills development, and facilitation of access to national and European resources.
Runtime: EuroCC 3: 01.04.2026 – 31.03.2029.
