Summer of HPC is a PRACE programme that offers summer placements at HPC centres across Europe to late stage undergraduates and early stage postgraduate students. Participants will spend from 29th June to 31 August 2015 working on projects related to PRACE scientific or industrial work and ideally produce a visualization or video of their results. It is an example of one of the variety of education and mobility activities carried out at BSC. Following its mission to become an educational centre of excellence, BSC provides training and professional opportunities addressed to students, researchers and industry (Master’s degrees, PhDs, workshops, etc.).
