EuroHPC JU’s Extreme Scale Access call continuously open for European researchers

The European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking’s (EuroHPC JU) has a continuous Extreme Scale Access Call to access its pre-exascale supercomputers, including LUMI. The call is open to all fields of science.

The EuroHPC JU Extreme Scale Access Call is targeting HPC applications with high-impact and high-gain innovative research. The call is open to all fields of science, industry and public sector justifying the need for and the capacity to use extremely large allocations in terms of compute time, data storage and support resources.

Researchers from academia, research institutes, public authorities and industry established or located in an EU Member State or in a country associated with Horizon2020 are eligible to apply.

The EuroHPC supercomputers provided for this call are LUMI, located in Finland, Leonardo, located in Italy and MareNostrum5, located in Spain. The call is continuously open, with a maximum time-to-resources-access (start date) of 6 months after the date of cut-off. The next indicative cut-off date for proposals has been extended to:

• 13 October 2023 AM – 10:00 AM CEST

The Extreme Scale access mode offers three distinctive application tracks:

The Scientific Access Track

Open to all fields of science, this track will call for applications with a case to enable progress of science in the domains covered. These applications are expected to be able to justify the need for large allocations in terms of compute time, data storage and support resources because they are significantly contributing to the progress in their domain. The Scientific Track prioritises 75% of the total resources available at each cut-off period.

The Industry Access Track

Prioritises 20% of the total resources available for this cut-off period for proposals with a Principal Investigator from industry.

The Public Administration Access Track

Prioritises 5% of the total resources available for this cut-off period for proposals with a Principal Investigator from the public sector.
