MINERVA

European Support Centre for Scalable AI Research and Deployment

MINERVA stands at the forefront of European innovation, serving as a transformative hub that bridges advanced High-Performance Computing (HPC) with artificial intelligence communities across Europe.

The project’s mission is to accelerate AI research and development by making cutting-edge HPC infrastructure accessible to ML/AI researchers and developers.

Through the comprehensive three-tier support system, MINERVA enables AI teams to seamlessly integrate their workloads with powerful HPC systems, while providing specialised support for pre-training and customizing large-scale open foundation models.

The MINERVA project will act as the European one-stop contact point and knowledge hub for large-scale AI technology, providing training, education, and technical assistance in collaboration with the EuroHPC Academy.
