Want to spend the summer working abroad at a European HPC Center?

Summer of HPC is a PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe) programme that offers summer placements at CINECA or an other HPC centres across Europe, in a PRACE partner country. This programme will offer undergraduate and junior postgraduate university students the opportunity to spend two months of the summer at a HPC center. Up to twenty 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 to produce a visualisation or video. The programme will run from July 1st, to August 30th 2013 and will include a kick-off training week. 

Flights, accommodation & a stipend will be provided to all successful applicants; all you need to bring is your interest in computing and some enthusiasm! Prizes will be awarded for the two best 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, more about HPC. A strong visual flair and an interest in blogging, video blogging or social media are desirable.

Applications will open at 25th January 2013 and close at 17th February 2013 and will be made on summerofhpc.prace-ri.eu
