A number of European leading Research Organizations (referred as RTOs hereafter) and research supporting organizations, with a long history of scientific and technology collaboration with Japan, are building a consortium for a proposal focusing on the development of joint High Performance Computing (HPC) applications for future generations of supercomputing...
Cloud, aerosols and their interactions are key regulators of climate. However, uncertainties in the magnitude of the net cooling impact of aerosols on climate and in the cloud response to evolving anthropogenic emissions and climate change induced feedbacks on natural emissions are major challenges that limit our understanding of how global and regional climate, including...
Aerosols constitute an important component in the physics and chemistry of the atmosphere, and concretely of the atmospheric radiative balance and cloud formation, and yet the uncertainties about aerosols concentrations and distributions, and about their life cycle are considerable.
The recent advances in numerical modeling developments, observational...
A key target of ecological transition towards the zero-pollution vision for 2050 is the prevention and control of pollutants. Transportation is a key source of urban air pollution, being the main responsible of NO2 and PM emissions, with a heavy toll on public health and wellbeing. This pressing need to monitor and reduce traffic-related emissions in urban areas calls for...
IMPETUS4CHANGE (I4C) will make significant scientific advances that will enhance our collective ability to act on and adapt to near-term climate change. The overarching objective of I4C is to improve the quality, accessibility and usability of near-term climate information and services at local to regional scales where impacts are most keenly felt and on-the-ground adaptation...
Seasonal Forecasts are critical tools for early-warning decision support systems, that can help reduce the related risk associated with hot or cold weather and other events that can strongly affect a multitude of socio-economic sectors. Recent advances in both statistical approaches and numerical modeling have improved the skill of Seasonal Forecasts. However, especially in...
We are devoted to the development of computational algorithms for LifeScience, using molecular modelling techniques, bioinformatics and machine learning methods.
Our molecular modeling software, PELE, is used worldwide through its public server, and commercialised through NBD since 2017, and clearly outperformed other tools in the CSAR blind...
The Climate Variability and Change Group performs fundamental research to further our
IntelComp sets out to build an innovative Cloud Platform that will offer Artificial Intelligence based services to public administrators and policy makers across Europe for data- and evidence-driven policy design and implementation in the field of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) policy. Large STI datasets are processed on a High Performance Computing (HPC)...
Modeling the heartbeat is a highly complex task that involves several scales and different tightly coupled problems. A large number of spatial orders of magnitude are linked, from the microscopic cell arrangement into a volumetric description, to the macroscopic shape of the cardiac chambers. In the same way, several temporal scales coexist, from...
