DARE attends EC initiative on use of High Performance Computing for earth system modelling

On 27 November 2019, the DARE project attended a workshop organised by DG CONNECT (by invitation only) on  the Convergent Use of EU HPC, Cloud, Data & AI Resources for Earth System Modelling & EU Sustainability Policy Support which took place in Brussels at DG Connect premises.
The purpose of this workshop was to explore the synergies between cloud, extreme scale data & high performance computing infrastructure and machine-learning methodologies in order to investigate options to underpin an efficient future EU Earth system modelling capability and a coherent support to EU policy making in the areas of sustainability, environment, climate and security.

The full-day event intended to investigate with the help of major stakeholders what would be available and what would be needed in relation to building a future digital infrastructure related to advanced Earth system modelling for EU policy support.

The role of the following European initiatives was discussed during the event, amongst others: the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), the Euro HPC Joint Undertaking, the European Connectivity Initiative GÉANT as well as Artificial Intelligence methodologies.
