European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking

[gentle music]

Really, the, the infrastructure investment, uh, pipeline that we have with AI factories, with the EuroHPC, and with the forthcoming, uh, AI gigafactories, which is yet another, uh, another initiative that we have, it sort of marks this, this, this fundamental strategic shift.

Uh, you know, we are...

Our objective is to transform Europe from that passive consumer of foreign-developed AI into sort of a sovereign producer and controller of, you know, the, the, the entire stack that we have, from the technological stack to, uh, uh, to the software stack.

I am what we call a head of unit, so it's a middle management position.

I lead the teams, um, in charge of, well, the HPC strategy of implementing, of, uh, defining and implementing the HPC strategy.

That includes, uh, managing the relationship with the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, so our network of supercomputers and AI factories, um, defining the AI infrastructure strategy, and implementing the AI infrastructure strategy as well.

Um, I also oversee the development of the European Open Science Cloud infrastructure.

And so almost, uh, education research installations, this Qila SDK and Qila Core, and then co-design integration training and support.

And then B2B and B2G, uh, so, uh, work has in- has involved, uh, PS- PSQ and EuroHPC and TII out of Abu Dhabi.

Um, I actually did, uh, something with TII Abu Dhabi as well.

So-

and together with the SICO BW and specifically also with the Gauss Center for Supercomputing, the GCS, which is the overarching structure over the national supercomputing centers, the three ones that I've just talked about.

so we give supercomputing training and support to businesses academia and public administration for free get in touch through our website supercomputing-in.de and follow us on linkedin and x the supercomputing in europe podcast is made possible with funding from the european commission and specifically from the EuroHPC joint undertaking, EuroHPC-JU, the joint initiative between the EU, European countries, and private partners to develop a world-class supercomputing ecosystem in Europe.
