NICEST2 - D4.4: Preparedness of the Earth System Modelling (ESM) research communities in the Nordics to efficiently exploit existing and new e-Infrastructures, and the role of e-Infrastructure Experts (eIEs) therein

The present document reports about a consultation that was carried out as the replacement for a physical workshop with national providers and users of High Performance Computing (HPC) resources which has never happened and was originally meant to discuss and characterise Nordics’ Earth System Modelling involvement in the EuroHPC. The initial scope of the survey was modified to address several major concerns that the Nordics ESM communities consistently raised in the past few years, and that the Covid-19 pandemic may have contributed to further exacerbate.
