Rule 130
Christian Ehler (PPE)

On top of the creation of a European open science cloud, the European cloud initiative also touches upon high-performing computing (HPC) and the need to support the development and deployment of large-scale HPC data and network infrastructure. Could the Commission explain the rationale behind it and how this will support a European open science cloud?
