"As a national infrastructure integrated in EU’s EuroHPC network, MACC’s mission is to promote and enable capacity building, sharing and cooperation on advanced computing. Most national researchers are potential MACC users thus greatly benefiting from MUG's community and events.", said Rui Oliveira, the Director of MACC.”
