+# CECI
+
+
+
+CECI stand for "Consortium des Equipements de Calcul Intensif". It is a consortium composed of several university in Belgium (University of Louvain, University of Namur, University of Mons, University of Liège and Free University of Bruxelles). The main goal of the CECI is to give access to computing cluster to every members of the consortium.
+
+The CÉCI is supported by the [F.R.S-FNRS](http://www.fnrs.be/en/)and the [Walloon Region](https://recherche-technologie.wallonie.be/?LANG=en). 
+
+
+
+# Cluster of the CECI
+
+There are in total 7 clusters available at the CECI (see [here](http://www.ceci-hpc.be/clusters.html) for the list). They all have specific features and should thus be used accordingly to the need the user have for his analyses.
+
+Those cluster could be used by GIGA members whenever the GIGA cluster does not match the requirements for an analysis. 
+
+
+
+# CECI training
+
+The CECI organise every year, in October and November, [training session](http://www.ceci-hpc.be/training.html) for the utilisation of their cluster. We advise the PI to send their freshly arrived PhD student or employee to those training session. They are very well organised and, as their are only a few differences between the GIGA cluster and their cluster, everything they will learn will be useful as well for the utilisation of the GIGA cluster. 
+
+
+
+Their [documentation](https://support.ceci-hpc.be/doc/index.html) is as well very well developed and very clear (and in english).
