The ARDC builds upon the HPC Chair Research Data Collections infrastructure, is FAIR and GDPR compliant, and takes advantage of the HPC ecosystem centred on the OBLIVION Supercomputer.
A consortium of three HEIs led by the University of Évora (HPC Chair), the Politechnic Institute of Beja, and the Polytechnic Institute of Santarém was established for the ARDC and funded by the Foundation of Science and Technology, Portugal.
