Training and Education Programme. Deliverable D5.1 of the HORIZON-EUROHPC-JU-2021-COE-01 project MAX (final version as of 30/06/2023).

Deliverable 5.1 focuses on the plan for specialised training, education, and support in computational materials science, with a strong emphasis on best practices for developing and running MAX lighthouse codes on HPC machines. In order to train the next generation of developers and code users, MAX will provide a diverse range of dedicated events, including workshops, courses, tutorials, schools, and hackathons, and it will also contribute to higher education through selected HPC-oriented master programs. Throughout each action, special attention will be given to young individuals and women in research and technology, ensuring an inclusive and gender-balanced representation among the lecturers and instructors. Building upon previous successful experience, the MAX-supported events will adhere to well-defined guidelines to ensure measurable impacts in terms of participant numbers, women's participation, and feedback from attendees. To maximise engagement from user communities and increase the number of trained scientists and engineers, we plan to collaborate with established organisations in this domain, such as CECAM, Psi-k, and ICTP. Additionally, we will maintain continuous coordination with National Competence Centres (NCCs) and other EuroHPC JU activities across Europe. Special consideration will be given to new user communities that are currently developing and advancing their HPC infrastructure and ecosystem in EuroHPC countries. The partners in charge of the dedicated Work Package are CNR, UNIMORE, SISSA, ICN2, CSIC, FZJ, CEA, UBREMEN, CINECA, BSC, IT4I, IJS
