Armenia and the European Commission have begun working on the republic’s accession to the European EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, which is engaged in the development of high-performance computing and the management of supercomputer facilities. The parties exchanged statements of intent outlining further elaboration of the terms of Armenia’s participation in the program.
Joining EuroHPC will allow Armenian universities, research centers, and technology companies to utilize the computing resources of European supercomputers. This will unlock additional opportunities for research in the field of artificial intelligence, modeling of complex processes, big data processing, and the development of new technologies.
A separate statement of intent concerns cooperation in the field of secure fifth-generation (5G) communication networks. The parties intend to develop the relevant infrastructure and strengthen the security of telecommunication systems. Thus, cooperation with the European Union will simultaneously cover two areas: access to cutting-edge computing capabilities and the development of secure digital networks.
