Applications for the 2026 International HPC Summer School in Perth, Australia are now open. The program will be held July 12- July 17 2026 and school fees, travel, meals, plus lodging support is provided to all successful applicants.

The summer school will familiarize the best students in computational sciences with major state-of-the-art aspects of HPC and Big Data Analytics for a variety of scientific disciplines, catalyze the formation of networks, provide advanced mentoring, facilitate international exchange and open up further career options. Leading computational scientists and HPC technologists from partner regions will offer instruction in parallel sessions on a variety of topics detailed on the event webpage.

The application requires submitting statements including a research abstract, scientific and technological reasons for participating in this summer school, a description of your use of HPC, and a self assessment of your competencies with research software as well as other professional background information. The program seeks applicants who have a familiarity with HPC. They may or may not necessarily be an HPC expert, but rather a scholar who could benefit from including advanced computing tools and methods into their existing computational work.

Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars from institutions in Australia, Canada, Europe, Japan, South Africa, and the United States are invited to apply by the deadline 23:59 AOE (Anywhere On Earth), January 31, 2026.
