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.
The STFC is an independent, non-departmental public body of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (DBIS). We are one of seven national Research Councils in the UK. We are a science-driven organisation, making it possible for a broad range of scientists to do the highest quality research tackling some of the most fundamental scientific questions. We do this by:
- funding researchers in universities directly through grants particularly in astronomy, particle physics, space science and nuclear physics.
- providing in the UK access to world-class facilities, including neutron sources, synchrotron sources, lasers and high-performance computing facilities.
- providing in the UK a broad range of scientific and technical expertise in space and ground-based astronomy technologies, microelectronics, wafer scale manufacturing, particle and nuclear physics, alternative energy production, radio communications and radar.
- providing access to world-class facilities overseas, including CERN, ESA, ESO, ESRF, ILL and telescopes.
- supporting training and societal and economic impact projects.
