Following the 49th Governing Board meeting of the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, which took place in Luxembourg in June 2025, Albania became the 36th participating state to join the initiative, further strengthening Europe’s leadership in supercomputing.
The newly confirmed membership of Albania marks a new step for the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) as it bring together the forces of diverse partners to strengthen Europe’s supercomputing capabilities, advance science and boost the innovation potential of enterprises across Europe.
Albania has been actively participating in the European Union (EU) Research and Innovation programme since 2008. As a Horizon 2020-associated third country, researchers from academia, research institutes, public authorities, and industry based in Albania were already able to access EuroHPC supercomputers to support their research.
Bing a full participating state of the EuroHPC JU opens additional opportunities, e.g.
- As a result, cooperation between the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking and Albanian researchers will be further reinforced.
- Albanian scientists will now be eligible to apply for EuroHPC JU Research & Innovation calls funded under Horizon Europe, which are supporting the development of supercomputing technologies, applications, and software.
- Also, as a signatory of the Digital Europe Programme (DEP), Albania could now contribute to the deployment of the EuroHPC AI Factories network and other calls in the area of supercomputing competences and skills fostering the growth of a highly competitive and innovative AI ecosystem in Europe.
vation projects to develop a full European supercomputing supply chain: from processors and software to applications to be run on these supercomputers and know-how to develop strong European HPC expertise.
