EuroHPC will permit the EU and participating countries to coordinate their efforts and share resources with the objective of deploying in Europe a world-class supercomputing infrastructure and a competitive innovation ecosystem in supercomputing technologies, applications and skills.
The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) will launch annual Calls for Proposals. All stakeholders (large industries, SMEs, technology providers, academia) are encouraged to take part in this new venture and contribute to the deployment of a new and sustainable economy.
Innovation Fund Denmark is participating in the first round of three calls under the topic 'Towards Extreme Scale Technologies and Applications'.

Apply for & nbsp; EuroHPC 01 (RIA): Extreme Scale Technologies and Applications.
- Minimum EU co-funding to the call: € 16 million
& nbsp; - Expected total cost per project € 8 million
& nbsp; - EU co-funding rate: 35% for industry and 50% for research organizations of the eligible costs
& nbsp; - Specific challenge: to support the development of HPC and data driven HPC software environment and application oriented platforms to generate innovation and value creation in sectors of societal and industrial relevance for Europe.
& nbsp; - The use of HPC solutions to generate innovation and value creation should be clearly demonstrated and aimed at providing secure and simple access for relevant stakeholders
& nbsp; - Expected Impact: The project must demonstrate relevance of the main target sector for European industry or society and ensure European autonomy within the Digital Single Market. It must further demonstrate innovation and productivity in the main target sector. Widening the use of and facilitating access to advanced HPC, big data and cloud infrastructure.
- Minimum EU cofunding to the call: € 8 million
& nbsp; - Expected total public funding per EU project € 2 million. + Member States € 2 million
& nbsp; - EU cofunding rate: 35% for industry and 50% for research organizations of the eligible costs
& nbsp; - Specific challenge: To eficiently enable industrial applications fully expoit the envolving HPC hardware and software landscape and seek synergies with ope-source components including the use of novel mathematical methods and algorithms.
& nbsp; - Proposals should clearly identify the target software and codes to be improved. These software and codes should be used in areas of significant demonstrable market impact, where Europe is leader or should achieve leadership and create value in Europe.
& nbsp; - Expected Impact: Achieving European leadership in the areas of target software and codes - and creating value in Europe. Enabling more competitive and innovative European industry including SMEs. Significantly improvements in the target software and codes, in terms of eg efficiency, scalability, refactoring, adaptation to new software engineering and progamming environments and tools. Greatly accelerate the time to market for products and services.
