The Minho Advanced Computing Center (MACC) is a sustainable supercomputing and bigdata infrastructure catering to national scientific and industrial communities and complementary to international partners.

MACC was created in 2017 by the Portuguese Government through FCT, INCoDE.2030 and University of Minho as a national collaborative infrastructure to promote and support Open Science initiatives on advanced computing, data science and visualization. 

MACC is also central to the Portuguese and Spanish joint strategy to build the “Iberian Advanced Computing Network”, which has been promoted by the two Governments and through the coordination of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS).
