The portal provides a single point of contact allowing European HPC users to retrieve information on the systems offered by the EuroHPC JU, their architectures, access mechanisms, and the support services available.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-11\">The initial version of the portal was officially unveiled during the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurohpc-ju.europa.eu\/media-events\/events\/eurohpc-user-days-2025-2025-09-30_en\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">EuroHPC JU User Days 2025<\/a>, taking place between 30 September and 1 October 2025 in Copenhagen, Denmark, marking a significant milestone in EPICURE\u2019s mission to strengthen user engagement and technical support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-12\">Anders Jensen, EuroHPC JU Executive Director added: \u201cBy centralising information, providing streamlined support, and offering practical guidance, EPICURE\u2019s newly launched platform enables researchers, innovators, and industry users to better leverage EuroHPC systems. It demonstrates EPICURE\u2019s commitment to supporting users and helping advance Europe\u2019s leadership in HPC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-32\">Portal features include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-14\">Guidance on EuroHPC JU systems\u2019 access mechanisms to help users navigate application and allocation procedures;<\/li>\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-15\">Direct support request process through a simplified, user-friendly application form;<\/li>\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-16\">The technical knowledge base complements the EPICURE website\u2019s outreach content with hands-on, practical resources for HPC users;<\/li>\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-17\">Access to training materials, including tutorials, user guides, and best practices, to help both new and advanced users maximise the potential of EuroHPC resources.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-19\">The portal is designed to support a broad spectrum of users. By lowering barriers and simplifying the support process, the portal directly contributes to Europe\u2019s ambition of becoming a global leader in supercomputing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-20\">Beyond the launched version, EPICURE will continue to enrich the portal\u2019s knowledge base and training resources.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-33\">The EPICURE project, funded by the EuroHPC JU under Grant Agreement No. 101139786, brings together 16 partners from 14 countries. Its mission is to establish a four-year operation of a distributed European-wide HPC application support service, bringing together Application Support Teams (ASTs) set up in all current and future EuroHPC Hosting Entities, operating its supercomputers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-25\">The EuroHPC JU is a legal and funding entity that brings together the European\u00a0Union and participating countries to coordinate efforts and pool resources with the objective of making Europe a world leader in supercomputing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-26\">To equip Europe with a cutting-edge supercomputing infrastructure, the EuroHPC JU has already procured\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/eurohpc-ju.europa.eu\/supercomputers\/our-supercomputers_en\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">11 supercomputers<\/a>, distributed across Europe.
