High Performance Computing for Specialised Applications
The EUMaster4HPC Summer School 2025, entitled High Performance Computing for Specialised Applications, will be held at Middle East Technical University (METU) in Ankara, Turkey, from 14 to 25 July 2025. METU is a prestigious institution renowned for its excellence in science, engineering, and technology education and research. Located in the heart of Turkey’s capital, its state-of-the-art facilities and vibrant academic community make it an ideal venue for this specialised programme.
This summer school will cover the applications of HPC for specialised applications and innovative solutions related to Data Science, Modelling and Simulation, Chemistry, Aeronautics, Materials Science, Physics, and more. The summer school will focus on these applications and encourage further collaboration and integration among the participating students. The programme consists of three main parts: the academic programme, the industry programme, and the social programme.

Academic programme : Confirmed academic lectures encompass the fields of data science, modelling and simulation, cybersecurity, biology, civil engineering, aeronautical engineering, physics, chemistry, and materials science. These will be delivered by a total of eight lecturers, who are selected participants of the EuroCC2 project, hold degrees in HPC, and/or are active users of HPC resources. Additional speakers from among the EUMaster4HPC project partners will also be invited.
Industry programme : Several companies will contribute to the technical programme of the Summer School, either by supporting hands-on training or by presenting their HPC-related activities and general sector requirements. As with the academic lectures, diversity of subject areas has been prioritised in the selection of these companies.
Social Programme : To encourage socialising and team building among the students, a two-day weekend trip is planned to the popular World Heritage Site of Cappadocia (Fairy Chimneys), with an overnight stay. The tour will include visits to Salt Lake, Ihlara Valley, the Underground City, Göreme Open-Air Museum, and Avanos pottery workshop. Wine-tasting tours, pottery making, horseback riding, and hot air balloon rides are also available at an additional cost. During the weekdays, additional tours on campus are planned. These include visits to the TRUBA Supercomputing Centre, Design Factory, Centre for Wind Energy Research (METUWIND), Society and Science Centre Exhibitions (Open-Air Exhibition, Classical Automobile Exhibition, Planetarium, Science and Technology History Exhibition), and Eymir Lake.
Location: The Summer School will be held at the Graduate School of Informatics building on the METU Campus, Ankara, Türkiye. Within the building, two classrooms, a conference hall, an amphitheatre, a computer lab, and the main entrance hall are reserved exclusively for this event. The students will have access to TÜBİTAK TRUBA’s supercomputing resources throughout the Summer School. METU is a state university with a dedicated campus. It is an international institution, and all courses are taught in English. It ranks as the top university in Turkey and is in the top 400 universities globally according to the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings. The campus spans 4,500 hectares, with 3,043 hectares designated as forested area, including Lake Eymir, which is situated approximately 20 kilometres from the centre of Ankara.
Accommodation: Students will stay in the university’s dormitories on campus. Rooms are available for 2 to 4 occupants, with either shared or en-suite facilities. A limited number of single rooms with en-suite or shared facilities are also available. Participants will be able to select their accommodation preference from the available options at the time of registration. Reservations will be made on a first-come, first-served basis. However, accommodation is guaranteed for a maximum of 80 students. Students who prefer to stay at a hotel off-campus may do so at their own expense, but they will need to arrange their own transport to and from the campus.
Catering: A breakfast plate will be provided for participants at the Cafeteria Café. Set-menu lunches will be served in the university’s main cafeteria. For dinner, there are several à la carte restaurants both on and near the campus.
