Project Summary

The objective of the HiPowerEd is to make create digital tools of the highest computational level for young people (young researchers with their teachers and young professionals) together with Cloud Computing and “Virtual Classroom”. The use of the created digital means project will assure the responsiveness, adaptability, and flexibility of the educational system during the COVID-19 recovery process. The objective is to make the HPC technology widely available to the younger population and to the underrepresented groups because at the moment the HPC technology is a highly exclusive technology available to a smaller group of people. In order to raise European digital readiness, these horizontal high tech tools should be widely promoted. The project tries to remove obstacles and to familiarize young people with the HPC technology in a broad range of scientific disciplines (STEM, humanistic, medical, economy…), catalyze the formation of networks, provide mentoring through faculty members and supercomputing experts from renowned HPC centers, and to facilitate international exchange and open further carrier options.
The project will produce a complete supportive digital framework with designated solutions in various scientific fields in order to efficiently introduce future scientists and professionals into the HPC. The current global crisis teaches us about the importance of the digitalization of society which gives us the flexibility to overcome the looming perils where the promotion and development of educational digital technologies stand at the forefront.
