How are we funded?

The EGA is provided infrastructure, administrative support, advisory input, and other relevant and necessary aspects by:

CRG

The EGA at the CRG is funded and supported by “La Caixa Foundation”, The Generalitat de Catalunya (Catalan Government), the Spanish Ministerio de Asuntos Económicos y Transformación Digital (Spanish Government) and the Instituto de Salud Carlos III.

The Generalitat de Catalunya contributes with funding to the CRG and to the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre (BSC).

The Barcelona Supercomputing Center is decisively contributing to EGA by providing the required compute, storage and networking resources, as well as key personnel for shared operations of EGA infrastructure.
