Specific Challenge:Supporting Centres of Excellence (CoE) that advance and promote the use of upcoming exascale computing capabilities in areas where user communities in collaboration with other High Performance Computer (HPC) stakeholders can develop or scale up existing parallel codes towards exascale performance, resulting into tangible benefits for scientific, industrial or societal challenges.
CoEs must be user-driven and inherently committed to co-design activities to ensure that future HPC architectures are well suited for the applications and their users (both from academia and industry), providing with a high performance and scalable application base. CoEs will federate existing resources around Europe, exploiting available competences, and ensuring multidisciplinarity (combining application domain and HPC system, software and algorithm expertise) and synergies with national/regional programmes. CoEs must further enlarge and expand these capabilities all over in Europe, in particular by including users communities from EU countries currently developing and advancing their HPC infrastructure and ecosystem (e.g. countries not currently hosting Tier 0 and/or Tier...

CoEs must be user-driven and inherently committed to co-design activities to ensure that future HPC architectures are well suited for the applications and their users (both from academia and industry), providing with a high performance and scalable application base. CoEs will federate existing resources around Europe, exploiting available competences, and ensuring multidisciplinarity (combining application domain and HPC system, software and algorithm expertise) and synergies with national/regional programmes. CoEs must further enlarge and expand these capabilities all over in Europe, in particular by including users communities from EU countries currently developing and advancing their HPC infrastructure and ecosystem (e.g. countries not currently hosting Tier 0 and/or Tier 1 supercomputing facilities).
This topic builds and complements the INFRAEDI-02-2018 HPC PPP - Centres of Excellence on HPC applications call.
Scope:Proposals should clearly identify the target area/domain that will be the focus of their work, which must have great potential to achieve exascale performance in Europe, (e.g. Materials Science, Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Personalised Medicine, etc.). Proposals must convincingly demonstrate this potential and the need for exascale requirements. Proposals must also develop synergies with existing CoEs and show European added value. Should the proposed work target an area or domain already covered by existing CoEs, proposals must clearly elaborate on how their proposal further expands and develops progress beyond what existing CoEs are implementing (e.g. different/new codes upgraded, new user communities, etc.) and demonstrate that they shall cooperate with existing CoEs (if relevant) and avoid any kind of overlaps/duplication in the selected area of work.
Proposals must address:
Research in HPC applications towards highly scalable, optimised codes and the path to exascale performance (both computing and extreme data)The provision of services supporting different usage models for the community needs, and contributing to the potential convergence of HPC, High Throughput Computing (HTC), and HPDA (High-Performance Data Analytics). This includes developing, maintaining, optimising (if needed re-designing) and scaling HPC application codes, addressing the full scientific/industrial workflow, particularly covering data aspects; testing and validating codes and quality assuranceCommitment to the co-design approach (hardware, software, codes), including the identification of suitable applications relevant to the development of European HPC technologies towards exascaleEnlarging and expanding HPC applications development and use, in particular for new users communities in EU countries currently developing and advancing their HPC infrastructure and ecosystemEnsure wider access to codes and foster their uptake by user communities, in particular industry and SMEsIn collaboration with the support action foreseen in the INFRAEDI-02-2018 HPC PPP - Centres of Excellence on HPC call, address the skills gap in computational science in the targeted domain by specialised training and capacity building measures to develop the human capital resources for increased adoption of advanced HPC in industry and academia Proposals must include clear KPIs allowing the assessment of the progress towards the objectives, both in terms of outputs and ultimate impact.
The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU of up to EUR 5 million would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts.
The Commission considers that proposals requesting a duration from 24 to 36 months would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately.
Expected Impact:European leadership in exascale-oriented codes and innovative algorithms/solutions that address societal challenges or are important for key scientific and industrial applications;Improved access to computing applications and expertise that enables researchers and industry to be more productive, leading to scientific excellence and economic and social benefit;Increased access to and uptake of applications by relevant user communities in those countries currently developing and advancing their HPC infrastructure and ecosystem; Improved competitiveness for European companies and SMEs;Federating capabilities and integrating communities around computational science in Europe;Complementarity and synergy with existing Centres of Excellence on HPC applications;A large number of female and male scientists and engineers trained in the use of computational methods and optimisation of applications.

Características del Proyecto
Los costes de personal subvencionables cubren las horas de trabajo efectivo de las personas directamente dedicadas a la ejecución de la acción. Los propietarios de pequeñas y medianas empresas que no perciban salario y otras personas físicas que no perciban salario podrán imputar los costes de personal sobre la base de una escala de costes unitarios
Los otros costes directos se dividen en los siguientes apartados: Viajes, amortizaciones, equipamiento y otros bienes y servicios. Se financia la amortización de equipos, permitiendo incluir la amortización de equipos adquiridos antes del proyecto si se registra durante su ejecución. En el apartado de otros bienes y servicios se incluyen los diferentes bienes y servicios comprados por los beneficiarios a proveedores externos para poder llevar a cabo sus tareas
La subcontratación en ayudas europeas no debe tratarse del core de actividades de I+D del proyecto. El contratista debe ser seleccionado por el beneficiario de acuerdo con el principio de mejor relación calidad-precio bajo las condiciones de transparencia e igualdad (en ningún caso consistirá en solicitar menos de 3 ofertas). En el caso de entidades públicas, para la subcontratación se deberán de seguir las leyes que rijan en el país al que pertenezca el contratante

Members of consortium are required to conclude a consortium agreement, in principle prior to the signature of the grant agreement.
For grants awarded under this topic the Commission may object to a transfer of ownership or the exclusive or non-exclusive licensing of results to a third party established in a third country not associated to Horizon 2020. The respective option of Article 30.3 of the Model Grant Agreement will be applied.
7. Open access must be granted to all scientific publications resulting from Horizon 2020 actions.
Where relevant, proposals should also provide information on how the participants will manage the research data generated and/or collected during the project, such as details on what types of data the project will generate, whether and how this data will be exploited or made accessible for verification and re-use, and how it will be curated and preserved.
Open access to research data
The Open Research Data Pilot has been extended to cover all Horizon 2020 topics for which the submission is opened on 26 July 2016 or later. Projects funded under this topic will therefore by default provide open access to the research data they generate, except if they decide to opt-out under the conditions described in Annex L of the Work Programme. Projects can opt-out at any stage, that is both before and after the grant signature.
Note that the evaluation phase proposals will not be evaluated more favourably because they plan to open or share their data, and will not be penalised for opting out.
Open research data sharing applies to the data needed to validate the results presented in scientific publications. Additionally, projects can choose to make other data available open access and need to describe their approach in a Data Management Plan.
Projects need to create a Data Management Plan (DMP), except if they opt-out of making their research data open access. A first version of the DMP must be provided as an early deliverable within six months of the project and should be updated during the project as appropriate. The Commission already provides guidance documents, including a template for DMPs. See the Online Manual.
Eligibility of costs: costs related to data management and data sharing are eligible for reimbursement during the project duration.
The legal requirements for projects participating in this pilot are in the article 29.3 of the Model Grant Agreement.
