ICSC – Italian Research Center on HPC, Big Data, and Quantum Computing closes for the holiday season and wishes everyone happy holidays and a 2025 full of success.

These successes, which ICSC will contribute to achieving starting at the beginning of the new year, will be supported by intensified efforts to make supercomputing resources, solutions, and services more accessible, while promoting the growth opportunities they represent.

In this context, we would like to take the opportunity to highlight two important achievements reached by ICSC at the end of 2024. These include its participation in the IT4LIA and INNOVATE projects, which were selected by the European Commission under two calls for the funding and establishment of new Supercomputing Centers that will be hosted at the Tecnopolo of Bologna.

Thanks to these resources, ICSC will be able to expand its capacity to meet the needs of research, the productive sector, and public administration.

Happy holidays from the entire ICSC community
