The HPC Continuum Conference is a three-day international scientific conference addressing emerging trends in High-Performance Computing (HPC).
Over three days, the programme will cover:
- strategic perspectives on AI, HPC and Quantum Computing convergence,
- industrial deployment and infrastructure challenges,
- sovereign AI and trusted digital ecosystems,
- and emerging approaches to next-generation computing and operational AI systems.
The conference also features a dedicated Industry Day focused on the deployment, integration and operation of AI and advanced computing systems at scale.
The HPC Continuum Conference is designed as a European forum connecting research, infrastructure, industry and operational innovation communities.
The event brings together leading actors from academia, industry and infrastructure ecosystems to explore how AI, High-Performance Computing and Quantum technologies are converging across real-world operational environments.
Panels and round tables will complement the programme by addressing strategic challenges and future directions for the field.
The conference is organised alongside the , which complements the programme by enabling in-depth engagement with early-career researchers and facilitating exchange with a global community of HPC experts, including leading researchers from over 23 countries. Together, these activities ensure a high-level scientific programme at the intersection of artificial intelligence, quantum computing, data-centric systems, cybersecurity, and sustainability.
