EuroCC, the full name being the National Competence Centres in the framework of EuroHPC, is a project supporting EuroHPC – a joint venture of 33 European countries and the European Commission (EuroHPC JU). The aim of this initiative is to enhance and equalise the level of advanced computing capabilities (High Performance Computing) for the needs of science, industry, and public administration in Europe. This is to be achieved through the development of the HPC ecosystem. This ecosystem will include, on the one hand, exascale computing infrastructure and, on the other hand, a support system for specialised knowledge, skills, and experience.

The main goal of the EuroCC project is to establish National Competence Centres in HPC in each of the participating countries. These centres will consolidate the potential of all supercomputer centers in a given country and facilitate the provision of their services to users from universities, scientific institutions, the industrial sector, and public administration. Through the NCC, scientists, entrepreneurs or officials can access not only the computing resources and expertise of national HPC centres but also those from across Europe.
