Research infrastructure goals and vision

ETAIS helps Estonian science and business to remain competitive by providing access to cutting-edge computing. This includes computing power, secure data management, user support and expert advice. The main users are researchers in the fields of bioinformatics, medicine, data mining, language technology, chemistry, materials science, climate research and physics.

ETAIS also supports the state’s data policy and the training and operation of artificial intelligence solutions in the public sector. ETAIS also connects Estonia’s e-infrastructure with international partners.

ETAIS represents Estonia in the Nordic cooperation network NeIC and develops the Blower service, which is used in several countries, including the LUMI supercomputer. In addition, ETAIS participates in projects that develop quantum computing and secure archiving of personal data.

ETAIS is also part of the LUMI consortium and is helping to create the next generation of supercomputers.
