Summary
Proposals should focus on the optimisation and co-development of specific and clearly identified applications and codes, present a detailed software development plan with clear timeline for the implementations including quantitative KPIs, milestones and deliverables demonstrating the achieved improvements and the benefits of the cooperation.
The proposal should clearly identify the targeted applications and all related codes that will be addressed in the proposal, including their user basis in Europe and India, the global impact in their domain and how the code is developed in the cooperation with Indian partners.
Detailed Call Description
Support the implementation of the India-EU Intent of Cooperation on High Performance Computing and Quantum Technologies Agreement.
Proposals should address all of the following commonly identified HPC applications priority domains
- Biomedical and life sciences (e.g. bio-informatics, bio-molecular research),
- Natural hazards (e.g. flood, glacier lake outburst floods (GLOF), landslide, seismic/tsunami, wildfires) and
- weather and climate modelling.
Activities should address performance measuring, test and optimisation for different architectures; promoting the exchange of researchers and engineers between India and the EU and elaborating a roadmap for future actions to enhance cooperation.
The large majority of resources should be associated with the technical work required for the implementation of the software development plan. Additional resources can be allocated to undertake complementary activities such as expertise exchange, skills development, training, collaboration actions etc.
All software developed within the action must use a version control system in combination with an online repository that will be accessible to the funding authority and/or experts acting on behalf of the funding authority and allow the identification of the specific contributions made by the European partners and the Indian collaborators.
Indian partners will not be funded by the EU, and they are expected to participate in the project with their own funding. However, Indian partners should support the proposal by showing their willingness to cooperate in declarations of intent.
Proposals should also clearly demonstrate that all partners in the consortium have a significant and justified role, including appropriate deliverables under their responsibility which cover the specific contributions of each partner.
