CASTIEL 2 will continue the mission to coordinate and support the National Competence Centre initiative and in addition will now coordinate and support the Centres of Excellence in HPC. The activities of CASTIEL 2 will coordinate and support the NCC and CoE activities at the European level, and foster collaborations between NCCs and CoEs (and amongst each other) to achieve maximum impact to their user communities and the European HPC landscape.

The CoEs

The Centres of Excellence cluster European Expertise with regard to specific topics. From Engineering to Biology and AI, everything is represented. Learn more about the CoEs for HPC here.

What is the relationship between CASTIEL and EuroCC / the CoEs?

CASTIEL 2, the Coordination and Support Action (CSA) closely associated with EuroCC, combines the National Competence Centres (NCC) formed in EuroCC as well as the Centres of Excellence into a pan-European network. The aggregation of HPC, HPDA, and AI competencies demonstrates the global competitiveness of the EU partners.
