The Heads of Research Councils from the G8 countries (G8-HORCs) Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, the UK, and the USA (Italy is not participating) have established a new joint funding initiative.
Global challenges need global solutions and this pilot initiative provides a new framework for co-operation across a broad range of disciplines and on a multilateral and multinational basis.
The initiative begins with a first call on Exascale Computing, further calls on other topics are expected in 2011 and 2012.
