@EUCommission I think a key point to achieve computational independence is to build our own infrastructure. I know that big cloud providers can seem like a shortcut, but in the long run it just isn't worth it compared to the independence you get from your own service

@mattepinza @EUCommission I think these supercomputers count as infrastructure. At least LUMI in Finland is huge, see e.g. https://yle.fi/a/3-12539820
Finland-based supercomputer aims to help tackle climate change

Three major international organisations will use 'Lumi' to build a digital twin model of Earth, a simulation that aims to contribute significantly to achieving the EU's climate policy objectives.
