University College London was established in 1826 and is among the top universities in the UK and worldwide, ranked in the top 10 globally in the QS World University Rankings 2020/21. It was also the first university to welcome female students on equal terms with men. Academic excellence and conducting research that addresses real-world problems inform its ethos to this day. UCL academics are working at the forefront of their disciplines partnering with world-renowned organizations such as Intel, BHP Billiton, and NASA and contributing to influential reports for the UN, EU, and UK government. UCL’s academic structure consists of 10 faculties, each home to world-class research, teaching, and learning in a variety of fields. UCL has 920 professors, more than 5,000 academic and research staff, and a nearly 29,000-strong student community.

Brunel University London is a dynamic institution with over 15,000 students and over 1,000 academic staff operating in a vibrant culture of research excellence. Brunel plays a significant role in the higher education scene nationally and has numerous national and international links and partnerships with both academia and industry. The volume of ‘world-leading’ and ‘internationally excellent’ research carried out at Brunel University London has increased by more than half in the past six years, according to the Research Excellence Framework 2014.

Argonne National Laboratory is a science and engineering research national laboratory operated by UChicago Argonne LLC for the United States Department of Energy. Argonne is a multidisciplinary science and engineering research center, where talented researchers work together to answer the biggest questions facing humanity. The mission of Argonne’s Computing, Environment, and Life Sciences (CELS) directorate is to enable groundbreaking scientific and technical accomplishments in areas of critical importance to the 21st century.

RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS). As the leading center of high-performance computing, the RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS) explores the “Science of computing, by computing, and for computing.” The outcomes of the exploration – the technologies such as open-source software – are its core competence. The R-CCS strives to enhance the core competence and to promote the technologies throughout the world.

The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) researches fusion energy and related technologies, with the aim of positioning the UK as a leader in sustainable nuclear energy. UKAEA is an executive non-departmental public body, sponsored by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy.

Imperial College London is a world-class university with a mission to benefit society through excellence in science, engineering, medicine, and business. SEAVEA is partnered with the Imperial’s Department of Aeronautics, and the EPSRC and UKRI funded Design and Development Working Group (DDWG) on Turbulence at the Exascale, targeting turbulent flow simulations at the exascale, a high priority area of research for the UK. The focus is on wind energy and green aviation applications as exascale computing will be a game changer in these areas and will contribute to make the UK a greener nation (The UK commits to net zero carbon emissions by 2050).

Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmapysik (IPP). The research conducted at IPP in Garching and Greifswald is concerned with investigating the physical basis of a fusion power plant. Like the sun, such a plant is to generates energy from the fusion of atomic nuclei.

Rutgers University is the State University of New Jersey, founded in 1766 as America’s eighth-oldest colonial college. Rutgers–New Brunswick is one of the nation’s leading public research universities, as evidenced by its membership in the prestigious Association of American Universities (AAU) and the Big Ten Academic Alliance, in which Rutgers–New Brunswick is the most diverse university. It is one of the United States’ original land-grant institutions and, along with the affiliated Rutgers Biomedical and Health.

Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (PSNC) provides access to a world-class e-Infrastructure for the scientific community, specific research, and development environment – digital science – for “proof of concept” projects, prototyping, or large-scale pilot projects. Another branch of our activity is in the digital industry, which is focused on the creation of innovations based on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), i.e. the execution of specific implementations for various fields of science and industry. Equally important is our work in the context of social innovation to spread knowledge and awareness of contemporary technological opportunities among various social groups, as well as actively fighting against digital exclusion.

Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) is the national research institute for mathematics and computer science in the Netherlands. CWI is part of NWO-I, the Institutes Organisation of NWO. CWI serves as the Dutch national research institute for mathematics and computer science. By creating a synergy between those fields, we pursue fundamental and long-term innovation.

RAMP Continuity Network. From March 2020, The Royal Society used its convening power to support efforts to model the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and help guide the UK’s response. In particular, it set up the Rapid Assistance in Modelling the Pandemic (RAMP) initiative and the Data Evaluation and Learning for Viral Epidemics (DELVE) group. RAMP brought modelling expertise from a diverse range of disciplines to support the pandemic modelling community already working on Coronavirus (COVID-19).

Save the Children was established in the United Kingdom in 1919 to improve the lives of children through better education, health care, and economic opportunities, as well as providing emergency aid in natural disasters, war, and other conflicts. After passing a century, which it celebrated in 2019 it is now a global movement made up of 29 national member organizations which work in 120 countries.
