[NLPL Task Force (A)] access to norwegian (and finnish) HPC resources

[Daniel Hershcovich]

The demand for access to HPC resources from our side stems from relatively
limited resources in Copenhagen alongside an increase in staff and
computational needs.
I'll be glad to serve as the site representative if there is no objection.
Of course I will still require your cooperation in case I am not sure about
a person.
