Description
This opportunity, supported by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) in partnership with the European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU), enables eligible applicants to access state-of-the-art EuroHPC supercomputers. The initiative is designed to accelerate artificial intelligence research and development, particularly in areas such as foundation models, generative AI (e.g., large language models), and other data-intensive applications. Rather than providing direct financial support, the program awards compute time allocations on EuroHPC systems to selected projects, fostering innovation and supporting the scaling of advanced AI technologies.
