The 2012 PRACE Scientific Conference will be held on Sunday, June 17, in Hamburg, Germany. Top European scientists will highlight advances in large scale simulation and key results obtained with support by PRACE, the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe. The European Commission and the PRACE director will present Europe s vision for HPC. Scientist and researchers from academia and industry are cordially invited to participate, learn from colleagues what can be achieved using PRACE services and indentify opportunities for future PRACE supported projects. The programme will include a short meeting of the User Forum which will provide an opportunity for users and those considering applying for PRACE resources to discuss issues with the PRACE management and members of the Scientific Steering Committee.
