HPC2N Projects and Collaborations

HPC2N is currently involved in the following external projects:

  eSSENCE is a strategic collaborative research programme in e-science between three Swedish universities with a strong tradition of excellent e-science research: Uppsala University, Lund University and Umeå University. It originated from a governmental initiative to promote high-quality research in areas of strategic societal and industrial importance. The vision of eSSENCE is to take Swedish e-science to the highest international level and build a creative research environment.

DDLS/SciLifeLab: The future of life science is data-driven, providing major new opportunities to explore and understand biology, human health and changing ecosystems. The SciLifeLab & Wallenberg National Program for Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS) is set up to make use of these opportunities.

EISCAT, the European Incoherent Scatter Scientific Association, is established to conduct research on the lower, middle and upper atmosphere and ionosphere using the incoherent scatter radar technique. This technique is the most powerful ground-based tool for these research applications.

EISCAT is also being used as a coherent scatter radar for studying instabilities in the ionosphere, as well as for investigating the structure and dynamics of the middle atmosphere and as a diagnostic instrument in ionospheric modification experiments with the Heating facility. 

EISCAT, the Wallenberg Initiatives in Forest Research (WIFORCE) is a basic science research program that aims to deepen our understanding of the processes behind forest growth, survival, and biodiversity. The knowledge can contribute to sustainable forestry, new management practices, and climate-adapted trees.

WIFORCE is a strategic initiative in natural science-based forest research at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation.

Sweden AI Factory - Advancing AI innovation. We are a team of AI specialists, business developers and systems experts who are eager to help you get your AI projects going. We offer training, support and access to large-scale compute resources – all for free.

The Nordic Tier-1 (NT1) is an operational activity that provides research computing and data storage for the global high-energy physics community.

NT1 operates one of the 14 Tier-1 computing centres of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG). WLCG is a large international e-infrastructure designed for the distributed processing and storage of data produced by the Large Hadron Collider experiments at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. The Nordic Tier-1 facility is unique in being distributed across four countries: Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden.

The activity operates large-scale disk and tape storage based on resources located at universities and scientific computing centres across the Nordic region. Together with high-throughput computing resources, this infrastructure enables researchers to process and analyse data and produce scientific results.

NAISS: National Academic Infrastructure for Super­computing in Sweden. The National Academic Infrastructure for Supercomputing in Sweden (NAISS) maintains advanced computing, artificial intelligence, and data services that support research ranging from fundamental research in mathematics or physics to climate modelling, the green transition, life science and economics. NAISS is the largest and most widely used research infrastructure in Sweden, involving more than 8,600 users at some 30 universities and research institutes (2025). We also maintain special dedicated resources for infrastructures, agencies, and external users.
