On 26 November 2019, the representatives of eight EU supercomputing centres met in Strasbourg to take further steps towards the implementation of the European Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC).
Hosting agreements were signed between the representatives, to start the procurement process for the purchase, installation and maintenance of the computers, which should start by the end of 2019.
Supercomputers are intended to support science, industry and the public sector in R&D which requires high computing power with the aim to make progress in the fight against climate change and the development of new medicines. They are expected to become operational during the second half of 2020 for European users from academia, industry and the public sector.
