The Leibniz Supercomputing Center (LRZ) in Garching near Munich, an institute of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities, has been the central IT hub for research, teaching and science in Bavaria since it was founded in 1962 – especially for universities such as LMU and TUM as well as other research institutions.

The LRZ is a member of the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS) – together with Jülich and Stuttgart, it is one of the leading supercomputing centers in Europe.

The Leibniz Supercomputing Center is a high-tech innovation laboratory and proof that technological excellence, sustainable computing and application-oriented research are not mutually exclusive, but work synergistically. With systems such as the SuperMUC NG, the upcoming Blue Lion and innovation facilities such as BEAST and the V2C, the LRZ is setting standards throughout Europe. It embodies what characterizes future infrastructure in the digital age: Speed, networking, energy efficiency and a focus on research.

Together with Thomas Gegenhuber, City Councillor for Economy and Innovation of the City of Linz, Michael Ullmann, Louisa Annabel Ullmann from LOVAPROJEKT, Ingo Huber(DELTA AG), Werner Arrich (Nova Zone), Maria Marlene Dietrich and Mima Malic(CMb.industries), we had the great honor and pleasure of being guided by Prof. Dr. Dieter Kranzlmueller, Head of the Leibniz Supercomputing Center, to gain insights.

This magical place, where luminaries collaborate, is a mission and a hope. It provides a quantum of comfort and helps to build a New Europe.

We congratulate Prof. Dr. Dieter Kranzlmueller and his team, wish them continued success and thank them very much for their valuable time.
