Keynote title: Competences as the key to success for strong technological developments
 

Abstract: In my presentation I will present the idea behind the activity of building National Centres of Excellence in Europe and how it is being implemented. First successes will be presented and the embedding of the network of competence centres in the European HPC ecosystem will be shown. It will also become clear how important competences are in the European HPC strategy and how to interact with the (constantly growing) network at national and European level.

Speaker: Dr.-Ing. Bastian Koller joined the High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) in 2004 after his diploma degree in computer science and received his PhD in engineering in 2011. Since 2014 he is Managing Director of HLRS. Dr. Koller was and is involved in many national and international research activities, covering for example HPC, HPDA, Cloud or AI topics. Currently, he is coordinating the EuroCC and CASTIEL EuroHPC actions, establishing a network of National Competence Centres in 33 nations.
