Community
Since its inception in 2015, the BioExcel CoE has had a large and measurable impact on science, technology, and education. Our work exemplifies that producing high-quality and user-friendly software and spreading necessary expertise are the main pathways towards achieving broad societal impact. In doing so we have built and are continuously expanding a strong community. We have enabled user needs to drive HPC software development, and educated users to creatively adapt to the abilities and limitations of HPC systems for solving scientific challenges through better software, and better use of it. These activities form the foundation on which we have developed the roadmap of BioExcel activities.
To achieve our mission, i.e. put HPC at the heart of Life Science research, we engage with a wide variety of communities. Joint activities and projects help us to understand their interests, priorities and concerns, which in turn allows us to provide the exact products, services and expertise. On these pages we map the main communities and describe our interactions with them.
Software Developers
Building software togetherSharing expertise on best practices for software development, and advanced methods for HPC performance and scalability optimization.
Academia
Our largest user communityWe provide open-source software, use cases, expertise, training, usability solutions and workforce education to the broader academic communities.
Industry
Accelerating drug discoveryLarge and small pharma and biotech companies have adopted our tools in their drug discovery pipelines
Ambassador Program
Our global network.Close engagement and expansion of our user community.
Infrastructure providers
Optimized codes for each HPC centreMost centres in Europe offer our codes. GROMACS is part of many benchmarking suites which HPC providers use during procurement processes with vendors.
Hardware vendors
Co-design. The way to go.Co-design activities with major vendors (Intel, Nvidia, ARM, Fujitsu etc.) ensure support on all modern hardware and optimal code execution.
Policy Makers
Developing strategic agendasR&I advisory bodies incorporate our feedback in their strategic agendas.
Funding Bodies
Shaping programs for addressing scientific and societal challengesWe contribute to Funding strategic programs development for science, education and collaboration globally.
