HPC Champions: Registration and call for submissions of talks, discussion sessions and working groups.
The next HPC Champions workshop will be held virtually over 2 afternoons on the 17th/18th September through the International Series of Online Research Software Events (SORSE), and will involve talks, discussion sessions and working group sessions. Topics covered will include updates from the national and regional supercomputing sites, training, and plans for knowledge and skills repositories.
Please register here to attend the workshop, and we encourage you to also submit a lightning talk, discussion session or working group suggestion: https://bit.ly/2D6jjoW
HPC Champions is a network of individuals with the goal of supporting HPC users in the UK to learn about HPC, find the most appropriate system for their purposes and to get the most out of that system. It includes a wide number of HPC communities including RSEs and system administrators from the local, regional and national supercomputing centres, as well representatives of HPC consortia. We encourage anyone with an interest in supporting researchers and RSEs to make the best possible use of the HPC resources to attend.

ARCHER2 Early Career eCSE Panel Observers call
The eCSE panel meeting for the above call is the meeting that reviews eCSE proposals and decides on which proposals to fund. As part of our commitment to encouraging and developing Early Career Researchers, we will be offering a small number of early career researchers the opportunity to attend the eCSE panel meeting as observers. The aim here is to give early career researchers a better insight into this competitive selection process to assist in the preparation of funding proposals.
Details of the call are given here:

HPC-Europa3 visitor programme: closing date this Thursday (17th September)
Call for applications: next closing date 17th September 2020.
HPC-Europa3 funds collaborative 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 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.
Coronavirus travel restrictions: Applicants will be notified of the selection panel's decisions around the end of October. We hope that international travel will be returning to normal at this time, but restrictions are changing at all times. Therefore, visit dates are flexible, and the dates proposed in the form can of course be changed if need be. Nevertheless, all visits must be complete by 31st October 2021, when the funding ends.
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 can apply?
- 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/AssociatedStates for full list of Associated States).
- Researchers may not visit a group in the country where they currently work.
- A small number of places may be available for researchers working outside these countries - please contact staff@hpc-europa.org for more information.

The next closing date is 17th September 2020. 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.
