Consortium
The EESI project consortium has been designed to represent a cross-section of European and international key actors in the field of HPC. The partnership has a deep and broad expertise in all the technological and strategic aspects related to HPC.
The consortium is composed of:
- 2 contractual partners: TOTAL & PRACE
- 29 organizations which act as chairs and vice chairs of Work Packages and tasks
- Around 100 experts who contribute through the project tasks and working groups.
Inria, the French Institute for research in computer science and control, is the only French public institute entirely dedicated to research in information and communication science and technology (ICST). Throughout its eight research centres, Inria has a workforce of 4 300 (3 400 of whom are scientists from Inria and its partner organizations). Inria has an annual budget of 250 million euros, 25% of which comes from its own research contracts and development products.
In its 2008-2012 Strategic Plan, Inria has defined seven scientific priorities: Modelling, simulation and optimisation of complex dynamic systems; Programming: security and reliability of computing systems; Communication, information, and ubiquitous computing; Interaction with real and virtual worlds ; Computational engineering; Computational sciences; Computational medicine.
As its strategy closely combines scientific excellence with technology transfer, it develops collaborations with the economic world through strategic industrial partners and about 100 companies have stemmed from Inria since 1984. Concerning the FP7, INRIA is involved in about 155 selected proposals including 85 in the ICT theme of the Cooperation Programme and 18 ERC grants. More information: http://www.inria.fr
