PRACE and XSEDE call for Expressions of Interest for joint access by international research teams

Published Jul 19, 2012

The Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe ( PRACE ) and the National Science Foundation-funded Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment ( XSEDE ) have teamed up to foster collaboration between U.S. and European scientists and engineers.

PRACE and XSEDE have issued a joint call for Expressions of Interest: U.S. and European researchers who wish to work together using PRACE and XSEDE resources and services to advance scientific discoveries are invited to apply.

"XSEDE and PRACE have been collaborating for several years, most visibly with the joint summer school series," said John Towns, XSEDE principal investigator and project director. This call for Expressions of Interest is a precursor to supporting science and engineering collaborations in an unprecedented way.”

"We are looking forward to receiving feedback on the needs and expectations from the user communities of the major HPC infrastructures on both sides of the Atlantic," adds Maria Ramalho, Managing Director of PRACE.

Expressions of Interest should be submitted to prace-xsede@prace-ri.eu  or prace-xsede@xsede.org  before 15 September 2012.
