HANAMI aims at supporting and fostering joint scientific teams to improve the performance and transferability of European and Japanese HPC applications by leveraging the skills and expertise of the scientific community within Europe and Japan. A central aspect is the user-driven development of HPC applications in relevant research areas.

The existing joint activities between the European consortium and the Japanese research institutes will bring together the required expertise to develop applications: this expertise ranges from designing new models, to the optimisation, development and the integration of new and ambitious workflows and models to efficiently profit from pre-exascale, exascale, post-exascale and hybrid architectures that will be deployed or are already operational in Europe and Japan.

HANAMI will mostly focus on the fields of climate simulation, materials research and biomedicine, building upon and extending already established scientific cooperation between Europe and Japan.
