Specific Challenge<\/span><\/h3>\n

Central objective of this call is to develop and implement\u00a0the pilot(s) of the European Master of Science (MSc) programme(s) for\u00a0High Performance Computing (HPC). The graduate education programme(s) will focus HPC and HPC-usage. They will demonstrate the added value of a pan-European education programme, committed to academic excellence, that offers students an outstanding career perspective in international companies and research institutes.<\/p>\n

HPC is a rapidly accelerating field of research and development with a strong potential for economic growth. HPC,\u00a0data science, data analytics\u00a0and the data-economy are becoming increasingly important for many industry and commercial sectors.\u00a0While basic computer science and programming languages are included in many university curricula, existing education programmes do not meet the demands on modern education adapted to a rapidly developing HPC technology ecosystem. Increased HPC awareness and an HPC-proficient workforce are essential to develop a competitive\u00a0HPC ecosystem in Europe in the next years. The availability of HPC experts to drive the European digital transformation, such as HPC administrators and architects, HPC proficient data scientists, HPC application developers and expert users, depends on the education of highly skilled and talented graduate students.<\/p>\n

The call aims at creating\u00a0one or more\u00a0pan-European pilots\u00a0for the development of a modern HPC-centred education programme to reach scientific and industrial target groups and to serve key actors in the private and public sector.<\/p>\n

Scope<\/span><\/h3>\n

European\u00a0Master (MSc) programme in HPC<\/p>\n

Proposals under this action should detail\u00a0a pilot programme that aims to develop a quality-controlled educational master programme for HPC and industrial applications in HPC of pan-European reach.<\/p>\n

The action should support the design and delivery of a master programme of pan-European reach for 50+ students per annual intake, equivalent to 120 ECTS and targeting advanced skills development to widen the scientific and industrial use of HPC applications. Two cohorts of students should complete the pilot programme.<\/p>\n

The proposed projects must fulfil the following objectives:<\/p>\n
