HANAMI Europe-Japan HPC Strategic Dialogue: What’s next for strategic scientific areas?
In conjunction with the HANAMI Symposium
As part of the HANAMI Symposium 2025, this Second High-Level Stakeholder Event will bring together key voices from across Europe and Japan to discuss the future of strategic scientific collaboration—particularly in high-performance computing (HPC).
Under the theme “What’s next for strategic scientific areas for EU-Japan HPC Collaboration,” the event will explore how cross-continental partnerships can drive innovation, tackle global challenges, and build the next generation of scientific infrastructure and discovery.
This dialogue will convene policymakers, research funders, leading scientists, and key stakeholders from both regions to reflect on achievements and co-design the next steps for enhanced scientific cooperation.
Date: December 11, 2025
Location: Chalet Hôtel Le Prieuré, Chamonix, France

Keynote Speakers
University of Reading
Pier Luigi Vidale is Professor of Climate System Science and co-leads the joint NCAS-Met Office global High Resolution Climate Modelling programme. Since a major UK-Japan collaboration in 2004-2007, Pier Luigi has played a world-leading role in high resolution climate modelling and understanding the role of meso-scale processes in the global climate system. He was the Scientific Coordinator of the EU’s H2020 PRIMAVERA (defining HighResMIP for CMIP6), currently co-leads the EU’s Horizon Europe EERIE (defining HighResMIP2 for CMIP7). Pier Luigi is actively involved in the development of km-scale global models, e.g. as investigator in the EU’s H2020 NextGEMS project, and in collaborations with the Met Office. Pier-Luigi is co-Chair of the World Climate Research Programme’s Digital Earths Lighthouse Activity, aiming to define the nature and purpose of Digital Twins for climate, and is the Director of Science Collaboration in the University of Reading’s £30M AFESP programme.
