The N8 Centre of Excellence in Computationally Intensive Research (N8 CIR)

The N8 CIR focuses on the creation of a Centre of Excellence (CoE) in CIR methods, skills, and facilities to underpin the strategic research objectives of the N8 universities. This CoE will accelerate progress in areas of research that are of strategic importance to the N8 partners, including some that have not made heavy use of technology in the past.
