The Joint ECFA-NuPECC-APPEC Computing Initiative had a workshop on 12-14 June 2023 in Bologna: https://agenda.infn.it/event/34738/

At the Joint ECFA-NuPECC-APPEC (JENA) Seminar in May 2022 in Madrid (https://indico.cern.ch/event/1040535/), both the plenary presentations and the closed session of funding agency representatives revealed that there is an increased need for discussions on the strategy and implementation of European federated computing at future large-scale research facilities. In particular, synergies between the three fields should be identified, as well as computing requirements in the next decade, where all three communities (particle physics, nuclear physics and astroparticle physics) as well as neighbouring research fields such as astrophysics or cosmology can benefit.

Main conclusion at the Bologna-Workshop was the creation of five working groups in order to coordinate a white paper as input fo rthe next JENA Symposium: 

1. HTC, WLCG and HPC (HPC)

2. Software and Heterogeneous Architectures (Software)

3. Federate Data Management, Virtual Research Environments and FAIR/Open Data (Data)

4. Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI)

5. Training, Dissemination, Education (TDE)

Here registration for WP1 (you will be contacted for further actions):

HTC, WLCG and HPC (HPC): The relationship of the WLCG system with HPC centres and the integration of HPC resources with our current computing infrastructures. For Europe, there is a need to engage at a higher level with EuroHPC. Contrary to the past, there is an opportunity to shape the evolution and policies of HPC facilities towards the ECFA-NuPECC-APPEC (ENA) sciences’ needs with the goal of both augmenting the computing capacity available for this community and facilitating the federation with existing data facilities.
