The NOTUR 2001 "gathering" is a way for everyone involved with high performance computing in Norway to come together and share their opinion and their point of view on how high performance computing should be handled in the future. We encourage HPC leaders, scientists, administrators, industrial partners and vendors to enjoy the hospitality of the conference site, and to broaden their perspective on high performance computing, during two days dedicated to science and technology.

The NOTUR Consortium is supported by the Research council of Norway and the member institutions: The Norwegian university of science and technology, Universitiy of Bergen, University of Oslo, University of Tromsø, SINTEF, Statoil, Ceetron and the Norwegian meteorological institute.

Representatives from all the member institutions, the Research council of Norway as well as the rest of the research community is welcomed to join hands at the NOTUR 2001 gathering.
