EuroHPC JU: €190 million will fund research and innovation in supercomputing in Europe.
The European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC) has launched calls for proposals to fund research and innovation activities that will help Europe to remain globally competitive in the field of supercomputing. The total budget for the calls for proposals are EUR 190 million.
The calls include Research and Innovation Activities (RIA), Innovation Activities (IA) and Coordination and Support Activities (CSA).
The following topics are addressed:
- Extreme scale computing and data driven technologies: supporting the European technology supply industry in developing next generation power-efficient and highly resilient HPC and data technologies
- HPC and data-centric environments and application platforms: maintaining Europe’s world leadership in HPC applications by stimulating the innovation potential of businesses and industry users to develop applications in different industry sectors (such as manufacturing, farming, health, mobility, natural hazards, energy, climate, space, finance and cybersecurity) that will best use the available computational power of the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking
- Industrial software codes for extreme scale computing environments and applications: helping European software vendors to improve their offer of industrial software and codes for industrial users to make full use of new, very high-performing supercomputers
- HPC Competence Centres: working with participating countries to develop national supercomputing competence centres in all EuroHPC participating countries, which will serve many users, provide knowledge and new digital skills training, and promote targeted actions for SMEs, networking their activities at European level.
- Stimulating the innovation potential of SMEs: supporting European manufacturing and engineering SMEs to improve their innovation potential and competitiveness by using advanced HPC services.
The call for proposals follow a one-step application procedure. The first three calls listed above will close on 14 January 2020, while the last two will close on 14 November 2019.
