NAISS – National Academic Infrastructure for Supercomputing in Sweden

NAISS is the largest and most widely used research infrastructure in Sweden, with more than 7,600 users at some 30 universities and research institutes (2023). NAISS is currently in the process of procuring a new supercomputer, Arrhenius, which will be installed in Linköping. Arrhenius is co-funded by the Swedish Research Council and EuroHPC JU (Joint Undertaking), an EU initiative that aims to put Europe at the forefront of supercomputing. In December 2024, EuroHPC JU approved a joint application by NAISS and RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden) to set up an AI Factory in Sweden, called Mimer. It will focus on areas of strategic importance to Sweden: life sciences, materials science, autonomous systems, and the gaming industry. Director: Professor Erik Lindahl (from 2025).
