In this video from the EuroHPC Summit Week 2019, Thomas Skordas from the European Commission presents: EuroHPC – The EU Strategy in High Performance Computing.
The EuroHPC Summit Week brings together relevant European supercomputing stakeholders and decision makers, allowing them to share on the one hand their needs and future expectations and on the other hand the latest technological developments, to define synergies and participate in shaping the future of European supercomputing.
