Building on the achievements of previous phases, EuroCC 3 focuses on consolidating and further enhancing the network by accelerating the uptake of HPC in Europe. In parallel, three new NCCs will be established, expanding the network and strengthening HPC capacity in additional countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\".eurocc-white-page wp-block-paragraph\">Each National Competence Centre is officially designated by the relevant national authority and serves as a central point of contact for HPC expertise, services and training. Together, the centres develop national competencies in HPC and related technologies, foster collaboration across Europe and facilitate access to national and European HPC resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The network supports small and medium-sized enterprises, industry, academia and research, as well as the public sector, through training, consultations, technical support and guidance on the effective use of HPC. In cooperation with national AI Factory structures, the NCCs also support users whose applications combine HPC and artificial intelligence technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Working in close collaboration with the Coordination and Support Action CASTIEL 3, EuroCC 3 promotes coordinated network development, knowledge exchange, and a coherent European presence through the HPC in Europe portal and the HPC Service Hub. By advancing digital skills, supporting innovation, and strengthening Europe\u2019s competitiveness, EuroCC 3 directly contributes to the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking\u2019s \u201cWidening Usage and Skills\u201d pillar and to Europe\u2019s broader digital transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#d4a514\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Who is involved?<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EuroCC 3 brings together 36 National Competence Centres from EU Member States and associated countries.

It connects partners across more than 36 countries, promotes a user-oriented approach and helps build a more connected and unified European HPC ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the heart of this initiative is <strong>HPC in Europe Portal<\/strong> \u2013 centr\u00e1lne miesto, ktor\u00e9 poskytuje pr\u00edstup k HPC slu\u017eb\u00e1m, odborn\u00fdm znalostiam, vzdel\u00e1vaniu, podujatiam, pr\u00edkladom \u00faspe\u0161n\u00e9ho vyu\u017eitia, vide\u00e1m, podcastom a \u010fal\u0161\u00edm zdrojom z celej siete.

Rather than navigating multiple disconnected websites and information sources, users can easily find the support, services, and opportunities they need in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By connecting national efforts under a strong European identity, HPC in Europe enhances the reach, impact, and accessibility of the entire network - making high-performance computing more visible, more collaborative, and easier to engage with across Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#d4a514\" class=\"has-inline-color\">HPC in Europe Portal<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The HPC in Europe Portal brings together information from National Competence Centres (NCCs), Centres of Excellence (CoEs) and other European HPC initiatives in one place. It provides access to training courses, events, documents, videos, podcasts, success stories and other resources \u2013 both for experienced HPC users and for those who are just getting started with HPC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond serving as a central information hub, the portal is designed to foster collaboration, facilitate knowledge exchange, and showcase the achievements of EU-funded HPC initiatives. It enables users to discover services and expertise across national borders while providing European HPC initiatives with a common platform to increase the visibility and impact of their activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The portal will initially feature content from the National Competence Centres and the Centres of Excellence. Over time, it will expand to include additional projects and organisations from the European HPC ecosystem, creating an increasingly comprehensive gateway to HPC in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By bringing together information that is currently distributed across multiple websites and platforms, the HPC in Europe Portal simplifies access to European HPC resources and services. It creates a more connected, discoverable, and collaborative ecosystem, making it easier for users to find the information, support, and opportunities they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/hpc-portal.eu\/\">VISIT THE HPC IN EUROPE PORTAL \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EuroCC 3: N\u00e1rodn\u00e9 kompeten\u010dn\u00e9 centr\u00e1 EuroCC 3 posil\u0148uje eur\u00f3psku sie\u0165 n\u00e1rodn\u00fdch kompeten\u010dn\u00fdch centier (NCC) pre vysokov\u00fdkonn\u00e9 po\u010d\u00edtanie (HPC) a podporuje poskytovanie kvalitn\u00fdch slu\u017eieb vo v\u0161etk\u00fdch zapojen\u00fdch krajin\u00e1ch.
