The European HPC Summit Week 2018 in Ljubljana gathered the main HPC stakeholders in Europe. Similar to previous years, this edition offered a wide variety of workshops covering a number of application areas where supercomputers are key, as well as HPC technologies and infrastructures. The European HPC Summit Week also offered a great opportunity to network with all relevant European HPC stakeholders, from technology suppliers and HPC infrastructures to scientific and industrial HPC users in Europe. Please go here to visit the European HPC Summit Week event page.

PRACEdays18 was part of the European HPC Summit Week, and was hosted by PRACE’s Slovenian Member ULFME – University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. The conference brought together experts from academia and industry who presented their advancements in HPC-supported science and engineering. The conference took place at the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Law.
