Based in the University of Edinburgh, EPCC provides supercomputing and data services to industry and academia. We have a long track record of working with industry, leveraging our expertise and facilities to accelerate the adoption and spread the benefits of high performance computing.
At our Advanced Computing Facility (ACF), we host and operate a remarkable collection of high performance computing and data services, including ARCHER2, the UK’s national supercomputing service, and the Edinburgh International Data Facility.
We are a leading provider of high performance computing and data science education and training, and run two established Masters programmes, which offer both on-campus and online study. We also offer opportunities for doctoral (PhD) study in areas related to high performance computing, computational science, data science, software engineering and sustainability, and parallelism among others.
EPCC conducts research at the leading edge of high performance computing and data science in areas including application performance optimisation and development, parallel programming models, and parallel I/O performance.
Since our inception in 1990, we have gained an enviable reputation for leading-edge capability in all aspects of HPC, data and novel computing. Our skill set extends beyond our 150 staff to embrace world-class multi-disciplinary capabilities, reinforced by deep ties with industry and academia.
An independent institution, The Royal Academy of Arts exists to promote art and artists – a mission we pursue through exhibitions, education and debate. We have a lot in common with other museums and galleries, and while the diversity of our exhibitions programme sets us apart, a few other factors also make the RA a unique institution.
We promote not just the appreciation and understanding of art, but also its practice. We are home to Britain’s first art school, the RA Schools; our three-year postgraduate course is one of the most competitive in the country, and we are proud to offer free tuition to all who study here.
We are artist-run. Just as when we were founded in 1768, we are led by many of the greatest artists and architects of the day. Known as Royal Academicians, they are all practising artists who help to steer our vision and support our activities.
Lastly, we are an independent charity, and unlike most of our peers we do not receive revenue funding from the government and so we are reliant upon the support of visitors, donors, sponsors, and the loyal Friends of the Royal Academy to continue our work.
