CASTIEL 3

CASTIEL 3 project aims at further strengthening Europe’s advance-computing capacity, by promoting interaction and exchange of expertise and competence across the NCCs network. 

The networking and coordination of the NCCs at the European level is essential for ensuring effective collaboration, sharing of best practices, and the harmonisation of HPC services across Europe.  

CASTIEL 3 provides a unified framework for networking, knowledge sharing, training, and service visibility, enhancing EuroHPC projects, digital skills, innovation, and SME competitiveness. 

CASTIEL 3 will also reinforce NCC support and visibility for SMEs and industry by coordinating service development, facilitating best-practice exchanges, and leveraging the HPC Service Hub.  

With the launch of its new umbrella brand HPC in Europe, CASTIEL 3 is strengthening its focus on user-centred communication, cross-project collaboration, and a more integrated European presence.

To support this vision, CASTIEL 3 operates the HPC in Europe Portal as the central hub for HPC competences, services, and training, while integrating new countries into the NCC network and enhancing collaboration among NCCs and other key European partner initiatives.
