The German Climate Computing Centre (DKRZ) has joined CLAIMA, a new Horizon Europe project focused on developing AI-based climate models for European high-performance computing and AI infrastructures. The project held its kick-off on Sept. 14, 2026, and is scheduled to run for four years.
According to HPCwire, CLAIMA is led by an organisation whose name begins with "Alfred," though the announcement does not specify the full lead institution. DKRZ's role is to contribute its expertise in climate simulation and supercomputing to the project.
The broader goal of CLAIMA is to make advanced AI-driven climate modelling practical on the HPC and AI systems available across Europe. The project is part of the Horizon Europe framework, the EU's main research and innovation funding programme.
