Joining the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC) will boost the UK\u2019s world-leading supercomputing research community, which can power the discovery of new drugs and harness AI’s potential<\/a>.<\/p>\n The supercomputer scheme brings together supercomputing resources from across 35 countries, including Norway, Turkey, and all 27 EU Member States.<\/p>\n Science, Innovation and Technology Secretary, Michelle Donelan said: \u201cThis deal will only strengthen the UK\u2019s science and tech superpower credentials, by giving our scientists and businesses even greater access to a leading network of expertise and powerful computing systems from Finland to Portugal.\u201d<\/p>\n The move will support UK scientists to make use of Europe\u2019s supercomputing facilities.<\/p>\n Their ability to solve problems with more speed than traditional computers makes these systems vital to the development of new discoveries that will benefit society.<\/p>\n Joining EuroHPC will boost the UK\u2019s leadership in supercomputing as members pool resources to develop scientific excellence.<\/p>\n UK scientists will now have the opportunity to bid for research support, strengthening the UK\u2019s computer capacity.<\/p>\n The move builds on the government\u2019s \u00a31.5bn plan to deliver world-leading computer facilities for the nation\u2019s businesses and researchers.<\/p>\n This includes backing for the Isambard-AI supercomputer in Bristol and the Dawn supercomputer in Cambridge, both of which will come online this year.<\/p>\n UK researchers will have access to:<\/p>\n In November 2023, the UK\u2019s deal to associate with Horizon Europe<\/a> secured access to future EuroHPC supercomputers.<\/p>\n The Horizon Europe-funded part of the programme will be worth over \u00a3770m between 2021 and 2027.<\/p>\n With match funding from the UK Government, researchers can bid confidently for further EuroHPC grants, ensuring access to cutting-edge facilities.<\/p>\n EuroHPC grants require match-funding from the UK on a case-by-case basis. More information on how this will be made available will be provided soon.<\/p>\n Researchers can apply for time on EuroHPC systems and for Horizon-funded research and innovation grants on the EuroHPC website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With the UK’s membership in EuroHPC, British academics are set to gain access to substantial future supercomputer research funding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":47412,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24615],"tags":[24128,24564,793],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nBenefits of joining EuroHPC<\/h3>\n
