Dompé is an Italian bio-pharmaceutical company that focuses on innovation, where a long tradition in the field of personal wellness goes hand in hand with a commitment to research and development to meet hitherto unsatisfied therapeutic needs. Established in 1940 in Milan, Dompé maintains its headquarters in this city. In Italy, it also has offices in L’Aquila, with an industrial and biotech research hub, and in Naples, where the Company has an R&D division. Dompé also has branches in the United States (in Boston and San Francisco), in China and in Europe (in Barcelona, Berlin, Paris, and Tirana). Faced with an ever-changing pharmaceutical industry that is increasingly open to global challenges, Dompé has opted for a market positioning that is based on two strategic priorities. Dompé is one of the leading pharmaceutical companies in Italy, dedicated to the development of innovative therapeutic solutions for rare and orphan diseases.

Politecnico di Milano (Milan, Italy) is the largest Technical University in Italy with more than 40,000 students. The project will involve personnel of the Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria (DEIB) http://www.deib.polimi.it/ which, with about 840 members, is one of the largest European ICT departments, both by size and quality of its research.

Cineca, established in 1969, is a non-profit consortium of 70 Italian Universities, 9 national research institutions, and the Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR). Cineca is the largest Italian supercomputing center with an HPC environment, equipped with cutting-edge technology and highly-qualified personnel, which cooperates with researchers in the use of the HPC infrastructure in both academic and industrial fields.

The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), established in 1827, is one of Europe's top schools for science and engineering, graduating one-third of Sweden's undergraduate and graduate engineers in the full range of engineering disciplines. Enrollment is about 17,500 students, of which about 1,400 are pursuing PhD studies. In this proposal, KTH is represented by the Biophysics division led by Prof. Erik Lindahl located at Science for Life Laboratory.

The University of Salerno (“UNISA”) is ideally linked to the oldest academic institution in the Old Continent: the Schola Medica Salernitana. Founded in the eighth century AD, the School reached its peak between the 10th and 13th century. In addition to medicine, its lectures included philosophy, theology and law. The School, which earned Salerno the title of Hippocratica Civitas (City of Hippocrates) after the famous Greek physician and treatise writer, was closed by royal decree in 1811 under Joachim Murat’s Napoleonic government. In 1944, by decree of king Victor Emmanuel III, the Istituto Universitario di Magistero “Giovanni Cuomo” was founded. This became state-owned in 1968, changing its name into Facoltà di Magistero dell’Università degli Studi di Salerno.

Founded in 1669, the Leopold-Franzens University Innsbruck is the largest university in the western part of Austria. Located at a traditional north-south crossroads connecting Europe, we are oriented internationally while positioned locally. Learning from the long and sometimes problematic history of the University, we build bridges into the future. Our strength is managing seemingly conflicting topics in a productive manner: asking globally oriented but regionally motivated research questions; self-confidently breaking with well-established knowledge while consciously respecting traditions; and capitalizing on academic freedom while treating it responsibly. In this environment of balanced diversity everyone at the University acts as a member of society as well as a link to society.

We are now an internationally recognized Solutions Provider thanks to our high level of expertise in HPC, High Performance Data Analytics, AI and Deep Learning. E4 has grown over the years by attracting young talent: computer engineers, physicists, chemists and mathematicians. Our R&D and Innovation team has proved itself at the highest level. This has helped the company work with the best and brightest universities and research and computing centers such as CERN in Geneva which have given us significant praise. Today, we continue to invest and grow to make our portfolio even more complete by integrating various open-source technologies such as Openstack, Kubernetes and CI/CD toolchain. We are always aiming to add new talent to our team!

PH3 was founded by its three co-owners in 2018, after combined decades of experience in software development, parallelization, optimization, porting and algorithm design.Our goal is to support companies whenever they hit their most challenging software engineering problems, need to familiarize themselves with new technology -- or simply require a high-quality implementation of an algorithm, feature or complete project. At PH3, we take pride in tackling some of the most challenging software engineering projects and making them look simple. Our expertise covers those aspects where others fear to tread: performance-oriented data structures, system-level tools, compiler analysis, realtime rendering, accelerator computing and parallel algorithms.

We are the leading research, development, and innovation centre active in the field of high-performance computing (HPC), data analysis (HPDA), and artificial intelligence (AI). We operates the most powerful supercomputing systems in the Czech Republic, which are provided to Czech and foreign research teams from both academia and industry.
