The conference will focus on exploring how supercomputing can be utilised to help address the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which underpin the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all UN member states in 2015. Examples of how supercomputing is already being used in this regard include its application to:
- Renewable energy
- Drug discovery
- Medical device design
- Climate modelling
- Ocean modelling
- Nuclear fusion
- Desalination
