This funding opportunity is to fund a range of high end computing (HEC) consortia, spanning EPSRC’s remit.
This is for communities that currently gain significant benefit, or are seeing rapidly increasing benefit, from the use of high performance computers (HPC) for modelling and simulation.
An HEC consortium is defined by EPSRC to be a network of computational researchers who are provided with a portion of EPSRC’s HPC resource, which it distributes among its members.
Each HEC consortium must be associated with a different research area within EPSRC’s remit and serve as a forum to share knowledge and develop software.
Proposals should be based on a clear and demonstrable need for HEC in the research area.
Each consortium will help bring HEC to a wider community, including non-traditional users and traditional experimentalists, to facilitate world-class research using the UK’s national computing resources.
Apply for funding to facilitate world-class high end computing research through a consortium.
You must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for EPSRC funding.
You must either:
- be employed at the submitting research organisation at a level equivalent to lecturer or above
- hold a fixed-term contract that extends beyond the duration of the proposed project
- hold an EPSRC, Royal Society or Royal Academy of Engineering fellowship aimed at later career stages
- hold fellowships under other schemes.
We will support the following through two different funding streams:
- new or emerging consortia
- established consortia.
