Summary
Barcelona-based EuroTPC has officially launched as Europe’s first coordinated gateway into the Trillion Parameter Consortium, aiming to organize researchers, HPC centers, AI Factories and industry around AI for science.
1,300 participants from more than 90 organizations already make up the global TPC, and EuroTPC is meant to turn Europe’s AI and supercomputing investments into direct influence over technical and governance decisions.
BSC-CNS will host the new EuroTPC Office, which will track TPC and EU initiatives, support onboarding and matchmaking, and run Europe-based hackathons, workshops and a knowledge hub.
BSC coordinates the effort with CINECA, Germany’s LRZ, Finland’s CSC and France’s Neovia Innovation, aligning the project with the EU’s AI Continent Action Plan and EuroHPC funding.
