The European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) has announced two new opportunities in the field of HPC:

Call for proposals for a European Benchmarking Framework

The objective of this call is to develop a new set of appropriate metrics and benchmarks for the next generation of EuroHPC infrastructure. The call addresses two topics

  • A European HPC-centric Benchmarking Framework

  • A European Benchmarking Framework for hybrid quantum-classical computing

Deadline to submit proposals is 24 March 2026. More information is available on the EuroHPC website.

Frontier AI Grand Challenge: Building sovereign, large-scale AI

The Frontier AI Grand Challenge is a major EU-wide initiative launched by the European Commission and the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking. Its primary mission is to bridge the strategic gap in high-end AI development by fostering the creation of sovereign, large-scale European AI models

The expected outcome of the Frontier AI Grand Challenge is the selection of one proposal to train a frontier AI model that will outperform state-of-the-art models in a number of relevant tasks. 

 Deadline to submit proposals is 13 April 2026. More information is available on the challenge's website.

Autoship - a new and durable way of freight transport

Autoship is, as the name suggests, an acronym for autonomous ship. Just like with self-driving cars, the possibilities of an unmanned boat seem endless. It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.

At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP FLanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
