The United Nations University (UNU) is pleased to announce today that it will establish a research and training institute in Bologna, Italy. The new institute, made possible through the generous support and cooperation of the Italian government and the Emilia-Romagna Region, will catalyse global collaboration and innovation in the utilization of big data and artificial intelligence (AI) to manage human habitat change.
The supercomputer LEONARDO, jointly funded by EuroHPC and CINECA on behalf of Italian Minister of University and Research, reached the 4th position on the latest release of the Top500 list of the fastest supercomputers in the world, as announced at the SC22 conference in Dallas, Texas on November 14, 2022. This milestone rewards CINECA’s 50-year commitment to supporting research through HPC, and confirms Italy's role as a strategic asset in the building of the European HPC ecosystem.
