The Research Council of Norway - Initiatives - Notur

Notur

The Notur project provides the national infrastructure for high-performance computing in Norway. The project serves the Norwegian computational science community by providing the infrastructure to individuals or groups involved in

• education and research at Norwegian universities, university colleges and research organizations
• operational forecasting at the Meteorological Institute
• research and engineering at other organizations and industry who wish to collaborate with the project.

The Notur project aims to provide a powerful and cost-effective infrastructure for computational science and enable its efficient utilization. In addition, the project shall contribute to the development of a national grid infrastructure, be proactive in international collaboration on infrastructure and computational science, and disseminate computational science as an important discipline in Norway.

The Notur project is funded by the Research Council of Norway and the university partners. The Research Council of Norway entered into a 10-year agreement (2005-2014) with UNINETT Sigma. UNINETT Sigma is the coordinator of the project and entered into agreements with consortium partners

• NTNU - Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim
• UiB - University of Bergen
• UiO - University of Oslo
• UiT - University of Tromsø
• met.no - Meteorological Institute

Since January 2006, the Notur project placed under the eVITA programme from the Research Council of Norway.
