The delivery of the keys to the building housing the EMCFW launches the opening of the infrastructure
Delivery of the ECMWF Data Centre
In 2021, the handover to ECMWF of the New Data Centre takes place, a 19,000-square-meter area that hosts two supercomputers and, when fully operational, will make it possible to significantly improve weather and wind forecasts and make daily long-term forecasts, rather than bi-weekly ones.
In April 2022, the Emilia-Romagna Region, ECMWF, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation officially signed the final handover agreement.
