High Performance Computers are highly powerful processing systems that can be used to reduce the risks associated with climate change. By processing data and producing accurate climate forecasts, such technologies allow for more intelligent and sustainable management of natural resources and the territory. In Trentino, for example, Fondazione Edmund Mach has used super-computers to monitor, in collaboration with the Autonomous Province of Trento, the areas affected by bark beetle following storm Vaia, and also to create maps of lawn mowing and the use of pastures.

Today the representatives from European project HIGHLANDER on the use of super-computers to tackle climate change are gathering in San Michele for the project final meeting.
