User Forum Coordination Group
The User Forum Coordination Group (UFCG) was established to strengthen communication between EuroHPC JU and its user communities. The UFCG was formed with support from EuroHPC JU’s advisory groups and endorsed by its Governing Board. Comprising volunteers from across the user community, the committee first met at the 2024 User Day in Amsterdam. The User Forum Coordination Group provides regular, constructive feedback to EuroHPC JU and participates in key EuroHPC JU events such as the annual EuroHPC Summit and User Days.
