Newsletter November 2020

On the 1st September 2020 EuroCC National Competence Center Sweden (ENCCS) kick-started its activities. In this newsletter we summarise our initial actions during the months of September and October 2020, as well as news from European HPC initiatives.

The vision of the ENCCS is to establish an HPC Competence Centre as a single reference and contact point for academia, industry and public administration. All activities are focused and orchestrated as a single know-how hub both for academia and industry.

The ENCCS team and steering board members at the kick-off meeting on the 16th of October 2020. Learn more about our team here.
