Subject: EU/US HPC Challenges in High Performance Computing Summer School
Please spread the word about the second EU/US HPC
Challenges in High Performance Computing Summer School.
https://www.teragrid.org/web/news/deisa_2011
As Barry Schneider, NSF-OCI told students who attended last year's summer school, we
know that the grand challenges of the future will be solved by large teams of
multidisciplinary researchers. One objective for the experience is to bring young
multinatio
nal researchers together that may not otherwise have the opportunity to meet. The seeds
we plant at this summer school will yield the fruit of future discovery and develop
friendships among young innovators that will last a lifetime.
Last year we hosted 60 students from 20 countries at the first EU-US joint summer school
Italy. There were 35 EU and 25 US students in attendance. Twenty percent of the attendees
were female! Among the US students were many international students who atte
nd US colleges or work in US labs. While the presence of varied cultural backgrounds
provides a richer exchange, it was unfortunate that more of the available US seats
weren't filled by US natives who would have contributed to, and benefited from, this
ex
perience.

This year TeraGrid will select 35 students and the EU will send 25. Please spread the
word at RP sites among graduate and postdoctoral scholars who use HPC for their research,
or who work in your labs. US nationals, female, and minority students are espec
ially encouraged to apply by the April 25 deadline.
