The HPC SPECTRA project addresses two timely challenges of EuroHPC JU’s training strategy: developing an innovative EuroHPC Training Platform and co-organising the International HPC Summer School (IHPCSS) editions of 2024 and 2025.

Through these actions, the project:

• provides an intuitive gateway to a comprehensive database of European HPC training activities;
• sustain the successful series of the IHPCSS started in 2010.

The new EuroHPC Training Platform builds on the HPC in Europe portal pilot developed by the HPC SPECTRA project partners, improved with additional input from European HPC training stakeholders, notably the Centres of Excellence and the National Competence Centres, and in addition it incorporates the training framework from the HPC Certification Forum.

These actions will be complemented by a strong communications and outreach campaign, exploiting the CASTIEL2 and EUROCC2 and project beneficiaries’ extensive networks, to engage all stakeholders and to maximise the impact of these actions for the European HPC community.
