The program aims to disseminate a supercomputer and build a world-class data infrastructure with an ex-ante capacity [trillion calculations (1018) per second] before 2022-23 and ex-post-deployment equipment before 2026-27. In this way, the EU will have an independent and competitive technology offer, it will achieve excellence in applications and high availability and use of supercomputing.
Artificial Intelligence

With regard to cybercrime, 700 million euros will be directed to enable active citizenship of today and tomorrow to have access to advanced cybercourses through educational courses and work placements, with their own independent member state.
