The LinkSCEEM (Linking Scientific Computing in Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean) conference goals were:
- To create an open forum where users and providers of HPC alike could meet and exchange their views and ideas.
- To explore the available HPC infrastructure in the region and to provide an opportunity for computational scientists to learn from leaders of HPC centres in Western Europe and the USA.
- To lay the foundations of a user community around the planned HPC facility of the Cyprus Institute's Computation-based Science and Technology Research Centre.
