    Description

    Instituto Astrofísica de Canarias is a member of the National Center of Competences in High Performance Computing/Supercomputing (HPC), High Performance Data Analysis (HPDA) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) through the European project, EuroCC.

    The EuroCC project promotes the development of competences in HPC, HPDA and AI in the academic, the public sector and enterprises (especially SME, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises). To do that, the project executes several actions. First, the state-of-the-art analysis will reveal the existing gaps between the current situation and the expected one, taking into consideration the level of competitiveness of the Spanish economy. Second,  the detected gaps should be filled either existing sources of competencies or by defining new product or services. Third, designing and executing new services and products to fill the competence gaps for each of the target audiences.

    This project has received funding from the European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (JU) under grant agreement No 951732. The JU receives support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and Germany, Bulgaria, Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Slovakia, Norway, Switzerland, Turkey, Republic of North Macedonia, Iceland, Montenegro.
