PRACE Summer of HPC is a PRACE outreach and training programme that offers summer placements at top HPC centres across Europe to late-stage undergraduate and Master’s students. Twenty-four top applicants from across Europe will be selected to participate. Participants will spend two months working on projects related to PRACE technical or industrial work and produce a report and video of their results.
The programme will run from 30 June to 31 August 2020. It will begin with a kick-off training week at VSC Research Center (TU Wien), Vienna, Austria – to be attended by all participants.
Applications are welcome from all disciplines. Previous experience in HPC is not required as training will be provided. Some coding knowledge is a prerequisite, but the most important attribute is a desire to learn, and share experiences with HPC. A strong visual flair and an interest in blogging, video blogging or social media are desirable.
