The Irish Centre for High End Computing (ICHEC) has today announced Ireland’s first Copernicus Hackathon, aimed at promoting the Earth Observation (EO) services sector across the country. The event will take place in NUI Galway from May 10th to May 12th 2019.

ICHEC is delighted to partner with PRACE (The Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe) in promoting the PRACEdays19, which is currently open for registration.

Two members of the ICHEC team have led an EPA report on climate downscaling published this month. The report describes the application of numerical weather prediction (NWP) simulations to develop high-quality, long-term, climate datasets of hydro-climate variables for Ireland, covering the period 1981–2016.

ICHEC's partner organisation PRACE (Partnership for Advance Computing in Europe) invites contributions for presentations of excellent scientific merit from scientists and researchers from academia and industry. Past and present users of PRACE resources are highly encouraged to submit a contribution.

I started working as a systems administrator for ICHEC in September 2005 after completing my undergraduate in Electronic and Computer engineering at NUIG. There were less than ten people at the centre then and a lot to do so I got to work on many things
