On November 25th and 26th of this year CINECA will celebrate the 30th Anniversary of its foundation with the organization of two special events. On November 25th there is a debate on "Crossing the Millennium Milestone" where a reflection on the future perspectives of the HPC, from both the architecture producers and the computational scientist point of view, will be attempted.

On November 26th, the Fifth ARCADE (Academic Research Computing Advanced facilities Discussion Group Europe) meeting will be organised, in the same spirit of the previous ones: an informal atmosphere, with a reasonable balance of plenary sessions and round tables to stimulate common work between the representatives of the main European Academic Computing Centres.
