EINFRA-6-2014: Network of HPC Competence Centres for SMEs
Scope:Specific challenge: HPC competence centres have been set up in some Member States to facilitate access and take-up by industry and in particular SMEs of HPC services. As yet these centres do not cover the whole of Europe. Supporting one network of HPC competence centres will promote access to computational expertise anywhere in Europe and enable the dissemination of best practice in HPC industrial use particularly for SMEs. This topic contributes to the implementation of the European HPC strategy, in particular to foster the use of HPC by SMEs.

Scope:Specific challenge: HPC competence centres have been set up in some Member States to facilitate access and take-up by industry and in particular SMEs of HPC services. As yet these centres do not cover the whole of Europe. Supporting one network of HPC competence centres will promote access to computational expertise anywhere in Europe and enable the dissemination of best practice in HPC industrial use particularly for SMEs. This topic contributes to the implementation of the European HPC strategy, in particular to foster the use of HPC by SMEs.

Scope: Proposals should address at least the following activities:

(1) networking of existing HPC competence centres providing HPC services to exchange best practices and pool technical, expertise or business resources;

(2) awareness raising and visibility activities of the benefits of HPC for SMEs in particular for countries that do not currently have such centres;

(3) identification of the pool of SMEs and available expertise in the different business areas at European level, and mechanisms to match SME needs and the available expertise;

(4) training (in synergy with t... see more

(1) networking of existing HPC competence centres providing HPC services to exchange best practices and pool technical, expertise or business resources;

(2) awareness raising and visibility activities of the benefits of HPC for SMEs in particular for countries that do not currently have such centres;

(3) identification of the pool of SMEs and available expertise in the different business areas at European level, and mechanisms to match SME needs and the available expertise;

(4) training (in synergy with the activities carried out by other organisations providing specific training for SMEs in HPC);

The aim is to support one network which will address coordination, outreach, training and the exchange of best practice and software components between the participating national and regional competence centres, complementing their current activities and services with actions of a clear European added-value that cannot be performed at local level. Direct support to adoption of HPC by individual SMEs is not expected to be carried out by this network.

This action will be complementary to the actions carried out in the Nanotechnologies, Advanced Materials, Biotechnology and Advanced Manufacturing and Processing Work Programme 2014-2015 in the specific call for manufacturing, (H2020-FoF-2014/2015) ICT Innovation for Manufacturing SMEs (I4MS) (topic FoF-9-2015).

Expected impact:  

         The network of HPC competence centres will be a reference for best practices for supporting SME competitiveness through access to HPC;

         Increased number of SMEs that are aware of the potential and/or become users of HPC;

         Establishment of a focal point at European level for expertise in HPC use by SMEs;

         Increase in the size of the HPC market (services, ISVs, computers).

Financial Chapters: The chapters of financing expenses for this line are:
Personnel costs.
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
Purchase costs.
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
Subcontracting costs.
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
Madurez tecnológica: The processing of this aid requires a minimum technological level in the project of TRL 5:. Los elementos básicos de la innovación son integrados de manera que la configuración final es similar a su aplicación final, es decir que está listo para ser usado en la simulación de un entorno real. Se mejoran los modelos tanto técnicos como económicos del diseño inicial, se ha identificado adicionalmente aspectos de seguridad, limitaciones ambiéntales y/o regulatorios entre otros. + info.
