FFplus partners are networking in Tallinn

From September 21st to September 24th, Tallinn was hosting an exciting gathering of the European HPC community — bringing together NCCs, CASTIEL, and CoEs at the All-Hands Meeting (AHM) to discuss the present and future of HPC & AI in Europe. The FFplus project is proud to be part of these conversations! We are happy to share insights about the FFplus Open Call and the sub-projects already carried out, showcasing how collaboration fuels innovation. Partners also provided information on how NCC members can best work together with FFplus partners, or how FFplus partners can support national SMEs through sub-projects.
