I'm interested in scientific collaboration and everything that makes it work.

Currently: research infrastructure & HPC at the Swedish Research Council. Past: #FAIR & #OpenScience, research software advocacy, community engagement, #SciComm, #compneuro.
This year's ESS/MAX IV/SciLifeLab Summit takes place at The Loop in Lund near ESS and MAX IV. Topic: #AI for science & Data Processing. I'll be part of a panel on policy later today.

The event will be recorded.

The second day of @eurohpc-ju.bsky.social User Days start with a presentation of the #EuroHPC User Forum. I'm pleasantly surprised to see they have a connection to the two high-level advisory groups *and* the support project - not all user forums get that kind of channel upward.

One of the less crowded Valborg bonfires I've been to (yes, really!), in Södra Ängby in the northern part of Stockholm yesterday. My daughter was in the choir singing spring songs.

Pi Day, so round food for dinner (although since the meatballs are only approximately round, I should probably have served them 22/7 instead) #piday

EU:s officiella forskingsdata-portal har en ny, ganska omfattande handbok om datavisualisering: data.europa.eu/apps/data-vi...
