Advancing engagement between HPC Centres of Excellence & EOSC

Building upon the increasing interest surrounding the connections linking HPC initiatives and the EOSC, EOSCsecretariat.eu has investigated the current landscape of European CoEs for HPC in relation to the EOSC, for the benefit of the EOSC Governance and other stakeholders. High Performance Computing (HPC) is at the core of major advances and innovation and a strategic resource for Europe’s future. The European Commission has provided €77.5 million of funding to ten HPC European Centres of Excellence (CoEs). The interaction between HPC and the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is a crucial element of the European Data Infrastructure. Reflections on how European initiatives can come together and underpin world-class data and digital infrastructures, tackle data management capabilities and successfully integrate Edge and Exascale computing, have been consistent discussion points throughout 2019 at relevant events such as the EOSC-hub Week and the EOSC Symposium. The results of the EOSCsecretariat.eu online survey on the ten HPC CoEs were collected in this booklet
