PRACE Scientific and Industrial Conference 2014 HPC for Innovation: when Science meets Industry In 2014, PRACE will organise its first Scientific and Industrial Conference - the first edition of the PRACE days - under the motto HPC for Innovation - when Science meets Industry. The conference combines the previously separate PRACE Scientific Conferences and PRACE Industrial Seminars and will bring together experts from academia and industry who will present their advancements in HPC-supported science and engineering. PRACE is looking forward to making this event a tradition for the European HPC communities! The PRACE days will be held in Barcelona at the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC) campus from noon to noon from Tuesday 20 to Thursday 22 May 2014. The programme will include invited keynotes, scientific presentations and a poster session. A Call for Contributions has been opened to select the scientific presentations and posters.
