(CercleFinance.com) – The Nokia Foundation awarded its 2024 recognition prize to Dr Kimmo Koski, Director General of the CSC. This award was given for his critical role in creating the LUMI supercomputer and Kajaani data center ecosystems.
Scientific research is increasingly data-driven, and almost all scientific disciplines use computational methods to analyze large data sets. This development is also evident in the research, development and innovation activities of private companies.
‘In this context, high-performance computing and data ecosystems play a crucial role. The LUMI supercomputer strengthens the international reach of Finnish and European science, accelerating both innovation and competitiveness,’ the group said.
Hannu Kauppinen, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Nokia Foundation, said: ‘Over the years, Dr. Kimmo Koski has worked systematically and made fundamental contributions to promoting the Finnish supercomputing environment and to the expansion of its international connections and importance across Europe and beyond’.
The Nokia Foundation has awarded more than 2,000 scholarships over its 29 years of existence. In 2024, the Foundation will award scholarships and prizes for a total amount of around 400,000 euros.
