European Research Institute (ERI)
With 28 sites across Europe and 2,000 researchers, Huawei’s European Research Institute (ERI) oversees both fundamental and applied technology research, academic research cooperation projects, and strategic technical planning throughout our network of European R&D facilities. The ERI includes the Zurich Research Centre (ZRC), located in Zurich, Switzerland, which focuses on developing the first generation of composable-native computing infrastructure, emphasizing the integration of scale-up and scale-out fabrics.
The ZRC encourages collaboration with academic research partners from universities across Europe, fostering an “open research environment” where academics can engage in fundamental long-term research alongside Huawei staff in an environment conducive to scientific exploration.
