HPC Serbia, EuroCC2’s National Competence Center (NCC) for High-Performance Computing (HPC), relies on the experiences of our colleagues from other NCCs to build the center that promotes and supports the usage of HPC in academia, industry, and the public sector. CSC - IT Center for Science, a member of NCC Finland, develops, integrates, and offers high-quality ICT services for research, education, culture, public administration, and companies in Finland.
