The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking will be established in a few weeks. It will have a dedicated work programme reflecting Europe’s investment priorities on HPC infrastructures and research and innovation for 2019-2020. This work programme will replace the HPC-related calls of the Horizon 2020 work programmes for 2019-2020 and, consequently, all these calls will be cancelled.
