	== ~~Governance~~ ==		== Mission ==
			Anunna is the High Performance Computing (HPC) facility of Wageningen University & Research (WUR). Its mission is to provide reliable, accessible and high-performance computing and AI resources that enable data- and compute-intensive research and innovation.

	~~The Product Owner of~~ Anunna ~~is Alexander van Ittersum (~~WUR~~, FB-IT, C&PS)~~. ~~Fons Prinsen (WUR~~, ~~FB-IT, C&PS) is responsible for the [[Maintenance~~ and ~~Management \| maintenance~~ and ~~management]] of the cluster~~.		Anunna supports the WUR research community as well as external partners working together with WUR. By providing access to advanced computing infrastructure and HPC expertise, Anunna helps researchers and partners address computationally demanding challenges and accelerate research and innovation.

	~~<!-- TODO: confirm~~ and ~~document the current governance bodies (e.g. steering group~~, ~~user group) and their membership. The previous roster was from the Breed4Food era~~ and ~~has been removed~~. ~~-->~~		== Governance & Ownership ==
			Anunna is one of WUR's Advanced Research Facilities. These facilities provide specialised research infrastructure and expertise to both internal and external partners, including research institutions, companies and startups.

	~~== User community ==~~		The formal owner of the Anunna cluster is WUR's '''Shared Research Facilities (SRF)'''. SRF is responsible for making the facility available to its users and ensuring that the infrastructure supports WUR's research and innovation objectives.

	The ~~user community~~ is ~~central to~~ the ~~facility: successful use~~ of the cluster ~~relies~~ on users ~~sharing~~ knowledge and ~~good practice, including helping~~ to ~~maintain~~ and ~~expand this wiki~~. For support ~~and to get in touch with the team~~, see [[Support]].		The day-to-day management, operation and maintenance of Anunna is carried out by a dedicated team of HPC experts within WUR's IT department. This team is responsible for the technical operation of the cluster, its availability, maintenance and user support. See [[Roadmap]] for information on how we do that.

			The Product Owner provides direction for the development of Anunna as a service, including its roadmap, services and alignment with user needs and WUR's research strategy.

			More information about WUR's Advanced Research Facilities and Shared Research Facilities can be found on the [https://www.wur.nl/en/partner-up-for-impact/advanced-research-facilities WUR website].

			== Our Users ==
			Anunna serves a diverse community of users. This includes:

			* '''Researchers''' from WUR research groups
			* '''Students''' using HPC resources for education and research
			* '''External research partners''' collaborating with WUR
			* '''Companies and startups''' working with WUR on research and innovation projects
			* '''Other institutes and organisations''' involved in collaborative research

			The user community is an important part of Anunna. Sharing knowledge, best practices and experiences helps users make effective use of the facility and contributes to the continued development of the Anunna service and its documentation.

	The User Group ultimately is the most important of all groups, because it encompasses the users for which the infrastructure was built. In addition, successful use of the cluster will rely on an active community of users that is willing to share knowledge and best practices, including maintenance and expansion of this Wiki. Regular User Group meetings will be held in the future [frequency to be determined] to facilitate this process.

	* [[~~List_of_users \| List of users (alphabetical order)~~]]		The user community is central to the facility: successful use of the cluster relies on users sharing knowledge and good practice, including helping to maintain and expand this wiki.
