Universitaet Innsbruck is a global Top-200 university and the second largest University in Austria with a long history in distributed and Cloud computing. Besides numerous funded research programs in the area of distributed computing for business and scientific applications, in 2010 an international doctoral school in computational interdisciplinary modelling (FWF Austrian Science Fund (Doctoral Programme) has been established where highly qualified international PhD students are trained in modelling, simulation, numerical mathematics, and techniques for parallel and distributed computing. Apart from interdisciplinarity, an innovative teaching concept combined with strong international networking are key to this program. |

Queen’s University Belfast (QUB), established in 1845, is the 9th oldest university in the UK and a member of the Russell Group, the Ivy League of the top research-driven universities in the UK covering just 12% of the higher education sector in the UK. The High Performance and Distributed Computing Research Cluster (HPDC) will participate in this consortium. HPDC is a part of the School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EEECS), which is ranked 9th in the UK (Times Good University Guide 2012) and among the top 100 in the world (QS World Rankings 2012). In the most recent Research Assessment Exercise 80% of research within the School was judged to be internationally excellent or world leading. |

The Royal Institute of Technology The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), established in 1827, is one of Europe's top schools for science and engineering, graduating one-third of Sweden's undergraduate and graduate engineers in the full range of engineering disciplines. Enrolment is about 17,500 students, of which about 1,400 are pursuing PhD studies. In this proposal, KTH is represented by High Performance Computing and Visualisation (HPCViz) department, which is a part of the Computer Science and Communication (CSC) School and a research branch of the KTH Center for High Performance Computing (PDC). The HPCViz department comprises three research groups: High Performance Computing, Computational Technologies and Algorithms, and Scientific Visualisation. The department focuses on HPCViz benefits from the variety of HPC system operated by PDC, ranging from high-throughput oriented clusters to high-end parallel architectures and novel accelerator based machines. |

Friedrich Alexander Universitaet Erlangen Friedrich Alexander Universitaet Erlangen is one of the top universities regarding Computer Science nationally and is among the top 200 universities worldwide. Complementing various research programs that are already funded, FAU is home to the Regionales Rechenzentrum (Regional Computation Centre) and its adjunct Chair of High Performance Computing. Besides, there are two Computer Science Chais ( Chair 3 - Computer Architecture and Chair 10 - System Simulation) which have been committed (and continue to be) to High Performance Computing for decades, both in research and academia. Chair 3 of Computer Architecture is also heavily involved in the STE||AR Group to investigate systems technology, emergent parallelism and algorithms, contributing to both HPX, LibGeoDecomp and various other side-projects. |
