9.00h
Welcome and opening
Josep Mª Martorell, BSC Associate Director
Maria Ribera Sancho

Keynote talk: Competences as the key to success for strong technological developments
Bastian Koller, Mananging Director, HLRS 
 
 
Bastian Koller 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.
