Communicating about HPC 1/2

With HPC becoming an ever so relevant topic in our community, it is important to look at the strategies that the various NRENs are adopting to promote their respective HPC efforts. 

We are looking for presentations on communications strategies and initiatives to raise awareness about the benefits of HPC and the promotion of cross-continental collaboration.

• LUMI industrial engagement: raising awareness of HPC benefits (Minna Lappalainen, CSC)
• The journey of CERN comms (towards HPC (Melissa Gaillard and Maria Girone, CERN)
• Arnes comms on all things supercomputing-related (Ariela Herček, Arnes)
• GRNET MarComms on all HPC related projects (Artemis Psarianou, GRNET)
• YOUR PRESENTATION

Open session - NRENs and their contribution to UN SDGs

With the new GÉANT project phase (GN5-1) starting in January 2023, it is important that we look at promoting NRENs' mission and work through the lenses of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The UN SDGs have become a benchmark to success, so if NRENs are not telling their stories and how they contribute to the Global Goals, they are missing opportunities!

• How to promote data centers as more sustainable, in alignment with SDG on Climate Action (SDG 13) (CSC)
• Mapping NRENs' contributions to SDGs: an initiative by AfricaConnect3 (Harold Bowa, UbuntuNet Alliance)
• YOUR PRESENTATION
