This Call aims to consolidate and strengthen the national technological and scientific system through Advanced Computing resources for Research and Innovation, in collaboration with four operational centers - Minho Advanced Computing Centre (MACC), Advanced Computing Laboratory of Coimbra University (LCA-UC), High Performance Computing of Évora University (HPC-UÉ) and National Infrastructure for Distributed Computing (INCD).

The National Network for Advanced Computing (RNCA), managed by FCT, seeks to aggregate national resources of advanced computing, promoting cooperation among the various centers involved and developing national and international partnerships with other entities.

The editions of this Call have so far made available more than 100 million CPU core.hours or vCPU.hours on RNCA platforms. There are more than 50 scientific publications and 60 Master's or Doctoral theses associated with projects approved under these Calls.
