PRACE Trainings

PRACE offers a wide range of pan-European training activities to develop skills and competences related to HPC and computational science.:

Face-to-face Training Events

All upcoming PRACE face-to-face training events can be found at Training Events. They are mainly focused on general HPC skills and competences aimed at intermediate to advanced users of HPC. Some introductory courses are still included in its training programme.

PRACE organises annually a programme of 90+ courses via its 14 PRACE Training Centres (in Austria, Belgium, Czech Rep., Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, UK, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden). It is complemented by Seasonal Schools and special On-demand events run in collaboration with other projects and European Centers of Excellence (CoEs).

Every year, PRACE also collaborates with partners from Canada (the SciNet Consortium), Japan (RIKEN R-CCS) and the U.S. (XSEDE) to organise the International HPC Summer School for the world’s brightest talents in HPC along with world-leading computational scientists and HPC instructors.

Online/Remote Learning

PRACE has developed online training resources that are accessible globally. These resources include:

The Summer of HPC programme

Since 2013, the Summer of HPC programme is aimed at stimulating interest in HPC among students by providing an initial 1-week training course followed by working in a European HPC centre abroad for approx. 2 months in the summer (July – August).
