Join us for a webinar, co-organised with the User Forum and, designed to guide participants through the full lifecycle of applying for EuroHPC Access Calls.
EuroHPC Access Calls provide HPC users and developers from both public and private institutions the opportunity to apply for supercomputing resources across all EuroHPC JU machines. These calls are highly competitive and require a strong combination of scientific excellence and technical readiness.
Talks will focus on:
- proposal preparation
- scientific and technical evaluation
- benchmarking

Each talk is led by experts from leading European HPC organizations who will provide practical guidance on the structure of the EuroHPC Access Calls, sharing insights from real-world experiences of successful applicants.
