The Euro-Mediterranean Centre on Climate Change (CMCC) is a research institution in Italy focused on climate variability and its socio-economic impacts. The deployment of the Cassandra supercomputer doubles CMCC’s computational capacity, enabling faster and more detailed climate simulations. This supports AI-driven climate research and strengthens CMCC’s role in tackling climate change challenges.
Name in original language
Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici e il supercomputer Cassandra
Initiative overview
The Euro-Mediterranean Centre on Climate Change (CMCC), headquartered in Lecce, Italy, is a non-profit research organisation dedicated to studying climate variability and its impacts, with a particular focus on the Mediterranean region. CMCC brings together scientists, economists, and technicians to provide integrated analyses of climate effects on socio-economic systems.
To enhance research capabilities, CMCC has deployed the Cassandra supercomputer, which:
- Doubles CMCC’s previous computational capacity
- Enables faster and more detailed climate simulations
- Supports new AI applications in climate research
The initiative’s objectives include:
- Improving climate modelling and predictive accuracy
- Enabling AI-assisted analysis of climate impacts on socio-economic systems
- Strengthening CMCC’s role as a regional and international hub for climate research
