Programme Description
The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (hereinafter “EuroHPC JU”), will contribute to the ambition of value creation in the Union with the overall mission to develop, deploy, extend and maintain in the Union an integrated world class supercomputing and quantum computing infrastructure and to develop and support a highly competitive and innovative High Performance Computing (HPC) ecosystem, extreme scale, power-efficient and highly resilient HPC and data technologies.
Call
Detailed Call Description
Proposals should focus on the development of specific and clearly identified applications (i. e. codes), convincingly demonstrate their exascale capabilities and needs, and present a detailed software development plan with clear timeline for the implementation including quantitative KPIs, milestones and deliverables. Research activities on the basis of use cases are not within the scope of the action and use cases should be limited to test runs required for development purposes such as regression tests.
Proposals for Centres of Excellence must clearly identify one of the following the Exascale Lighthouse application areas:
- Personalised Medicine/ Digital twin of the human body;
- Human Brain research & neurological disorders;
- Energy: optimising energy consumption and supporting the transition to a reliable and low carbon and clean energy society;
- Performance optimisation: analysis and assessment, tools and optimisation and productivity services for HPC academic and industrial code(s) (including support to selected Centres of Excellence).
Financing percentage by EU or other bodies / Level of Subsidy or Loan
The EuroHPC JU estimates that an EU and Participating State contribution of between €3 000 000 – €6 000 000 per project would allow these outcomes to be addressed appropriately.
The EU funding rate for eligible costs in grants awarded by the JU for this topic will be up to 50% of the eligible costs. In case a Participating State decided to entrust the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking with the management of its national contributions, this funding rate will be increased by the additional national funding rate for the eligible entities of this country.
Eligibility For Participation Notes
Under this topic, participation is limited to legal entities established in Member States and legal entities established in countries associated to Horizon Europe that are members of the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking.
