Inspired by on-going discussions about plans to establish Community Centres of Excellence within the UKRI Digital Research Infrastructure, the workshop brought together practitioners, community champions and programme managers from diverse areas of scientific computation in the UK to articulate what we each mean by ‘community’, and map out what challenges and opportunities may lie ahead.
The programme consisted of presentations from practitioners representing a broad spread of HPC-based science, followed by a discussion compered by DiRAC Director Mark Wilkinson.
