The objective of the project was to build on the successful previous Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE) projects, which aimed to implement a European HPC infrastructure and continue to develop cooperation in the field of supercomputing to strengthen the competitiveness of European science, research, and industry. The PRACE 5th Implementation Phase Project was the fifth in a series of pan-European supercomputing infrastructure projects of the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE). PRACE allows scientists to apply for access to supercomputers operated in different member states across Europe through grant competitions. In 2017, IT4Innovations became the PRACE Training Center under which it organised approximately six professional training sessions per year. It also enabled students from Europe to participate in summer internships at European supercomputing centres each year. This opportunity was used by 50 students a year who worked with their mentors on research projects.
