It is expected that, once fully operational, CONVECS computing services will be used by more than 500 users (researchers, faculty, and technical staff). Currently, the project directly involves the following partners:
- University of Padua
Lead partner and project coordinator, contributing to the creation of the main computing site in Padua in collaboration with INFN. - National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN)
Collaborates with the University of Padua on the establishment of the primary computing site through the INFN Padua branch and the Legnaro National Laboratories (LNL), expanding and sharing existing resources. - University of Verona
Contributes by creating a secondary computing node at the University of Verona data centers. - Ca’ Foscari University of Venice
Contributes by creating a secondary computing node at the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice data centers. - Venice University of Architecture (IUAV)
Participates in technological development and research projects in collaboration with the other partners.
