CINECA is a non profit consortium, made up of 50 Italian universities, two National Research Centers, and the Ministry of University and Research (MiUR), and was established in 1969 in Casalecchio di Reno, Bologna.

It is the most powerful supercomputing centre in Italy, as stated in the Top500list of the most powerful supercomputers in the world.

The Consortium's institutional mission is to support the Italian scientific community through supercomputing and Scientific visualisation tools. CINECA's personnel (comprising over 350 people) cooperate with researchers in both the academic and industrial fields.

Since the end of the 1980s, CINECA has broadened the scope of its mission by embracing other IT sectors, developing management and administrative services for universities and designing ICT systems for the exchange of information between the Ministry of University and Research and the Italian national academic system. The Consortium is also strongly committed to transfer technology to many categories of users, from the Public Administration to private enterprises.

CINECA takes part in several research projects funded by the European Union for the promotion and development of IT technologies (Grid computing, bioinformatic, digital content, the promotion of transnational access to European supercomputing centres, etc.).
