With the UK’s membership in EuroHPC, British academics are poised to gain access to substantial future supercomputer research funding.<\/h2>\n

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

Benefits of joining EuroHPC<\/h3>\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
