Appointment of Dr. Eng. Norbert Meyer to the PRACE strategic group
In November, by the decision of the PRACE AISBL Steering Committee, the Director of Data Processing Technologies Division, Dr. Eng. Norbert Meyer, was nominated to the PRACE strategic group. This group is defining the directions for the development of advanced computing in Europe as well as the tasks of the PRACE consortium in the context of these goals.

The cooperation between the EuroHPC JU (EuroHPC Joint Undertaking) and the PRACE Consortium has recently been strengthened. According to preliminary arrangements, PRACE will support the operational activities of EuroHPC, e.g. in the area of announcing calls for pre-exascale systems, evaluation of computational grants and their subsequent settlements.

The PRACE strategic group is working on the third stage of development, the so-called PRACE 3.0, where one of the main tasks is research on exascale HPC systems and cooperation with EuroHPC.
