3. Workshop idea Expertise at University of Iceland, e.g.
Faculty of Industrial Eng., Mechanical Eng., Computer Science,
Applications: Physics, Chemistry, Earth Science, …
University of Iceland’s Division of Information Technology (UTS):
Máni Maríus Viðarsson
IHPC cluster and community
and also at other Icelandic research institutions.
Still, expertise in some advanced topics lacking  Combined workshop of internal and external experts!

5. NeIC Funding
Workshop kindly funded by NeIC, the Nordic e-Infrastructure Collaboration:
Goal: making the Nordics capable of tackling e-infrastructure challenges beyond what is possible on singular national scale.
Distributed organisation of technical experts from academic HPC centres across the Nordic countries.
Close collaboration with the Nordic e-Infrastructure Providers: UNINETT Sigma2, SNIC, CSC, DeIC, RHnet.
NeIC hosted by NordForsk, the Nordic research funding organisation under the Nordic Council.

6. How can you benefit from NeIC?
Training calendar:
Travel grants for interesting courses within the Nordic countries.
Both directions: bring trainers to trainees (=this workshop) and vice versa.
Code Refinery:
Training workshops to create sustainable, modular, reusable, and reproducible research software.
University of Iceland Code Refinery: August 2018.
Registration and info:
Dellingr:
If your own HPC resources are not sufficient, apply for access to other Nordic clusters.
Just a few examples – further info:
