Networking and coordination of national HPC Competence Centres -

The central objective of the action is to coordinate and support the network of National Competence Centres (NCCs) for HPC as a single focal point at European level. This Coordination and Support Action aims to maximise existing European HPC knowledge and expertise across Europe by facilitating the sharing of applications, best practices, knowledge and information, networking and training across NCCs. In order to accomplish these objectives, the selected consortium will liaise and align activities under the guidance of the Coordinator of the Networking and Coordination of AI Factories/ AI Factories project. The selected consortium will also establish effective cooperations with other European initiatives, in particular regarding projects focusing on European training and skills for HPC, e.g., the EuroHPC Academy and the European Master for HPC.

The action should coordinate and support the NCCs for HPC. In particular, it is expected that the actions establish a communication platform, facilitate dialogue, promote the objectives of the initiatives and organize events and workshops on relevant topics for NCCs. The activities should leverage the synergies and complementarity strengths of the initiatives.

It is expected that potential training solutions, successful services and tools available from the NCCs network are identified and communicated. The action should support and assist in addressing requests and/or needs of their communities, for example by service facilitation and matchmaking between the relevant European initiatives or by supporting the exchange of knowledge and best practices between NCCs.
