The position of Chair of the DeiC Board is currently vacant, leading to delays in decision-making processes and affecting upcoming national HPC calls.
John Renner Hansen has stepped down as Chair of the DeiC Board. As a result, the DeiC Board is currently unable to make financial decisions, which impacts several ongoing and upcoming HPC activities.
A new Chair is expected to be appointed by the Rectors’ Conference of Danish Universities in early August 2025.
Fewer Resources in Upcoming National HPC Call
The next national HPC call will open on 15 July 2025 and covers the compute period from 1 January to 31 December 2026. DeiC’s current contracts with DeiC Interactive HPC will expire on 31 December 2025, and work is underway to establish a new agreement. However, as the Board is not currently quorate, there is no guarantee that new agreements will be in place before the call opens. Therefore, the upcoming national call will only include national compute time on LUMI.
