HPC-Europa3 Transnational Access programme

Collaborative research visits using High Performance Computing

Call for applications: closing date on 21st February 2019

HPC-Europa3 funds research visits for computational scientists in any discipline which can use High Performance Computing (HPC). Visits can be made to research institutes in Finland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden or the UK. UK-based researchers can benefit in two ways: either by visiting a research group elsewhere in Europe, or by hosting a research visitor from another country.

What does HPC-Europa3 provide?

• Funding for travel, living and accommodation expenses for visits of up to 13 weeks.
• Access to world-class High Performance Computing (HPC) facilities.
• Technical support to help you make best use of the HPC systems.
• Collaborative environment with an expert in your field of research.

Who is the programme open to?

• Researchers of all levels, from postgraduate to full professors.
• Researchers from academia or industry.
• Researchers currently working in a European Union country or Associated State (see http://bit.ly/2PkVsSV for full list of Associated States).

• Researchers may not visit a group in the country where they currently work.

• A small number of places are available for researchers working outside these countries - please contact staff@hpc-europa.org for more information.

How do I apply?

Apply online at http://www.hpc-europa.org

The next closing date is 21st February 2019. Closing dates are held 4 times per year. Applications can be submitted at any time. You should receive a decision approximately 6 weeks after the closing date.
