TRACS Call for applicants
TRACS Call for applicants - closing date 6 November 2002
Are you a Researcher working in Europe? Are you interested in High
Performance Computing? If the answers are yes, then funding may be
available for you to carry out research in Scotland (UK) under the
TRACS Programme:
http://www.epcc.ed.ac.uk/tracs/.
What is the TRACS Programme?
TRACS stands for Training and Research on Advanced Computing
Systems. This successful EC-funded Visitors Programme is an
opportunity for researchers in Europe to come to Edinburgh to use our
High Performance Computing (HPC) facilities and work on their own
specific project with a "research host" in Scotland.
Please note that the next deadline for applications is 6 November
2002 (there are 4 calls for applicants per year). For more
information on how to apply, see:
http://www.epcc.ed.ac.uk/tracs/application/application.html
Do I qualify for a visit?
TRACS is open to academic researchers, from Post-Graduates students to
Professors, as well as industrial researchers across Europe. In order
to be eligible, you need to be working on non-proprietary research and
you must be working inside a member state of the European Union or an
Associated State, but outside of the UK.
How long does a visit last?
A TRACS visit can last a minimum of 4 weeks and a maximum of 13
weeks.
What does TRACS provide?
- Access to some of the best HPC facilities in Europe based at EPCC,
Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre (The University of Edinburgh).
- Consultancy and support from experienced staff.
- The possibility to attend courses on all aspects of HPC.
- A host department in one of the Universities in Scotland where you
can collaborate with a researcher.
- Travel and accommodation expenses: you will have to make your own
travel arrangements but TRACS will refund (after arrival) an amount
corresponding to a reasonable air fare. TRACS will also arrange and
pay for your accommodation in self-catering post-graduate student
residences.
- Daily Subsistence: We normally pay subsistence at the rate of £10
per day.
We hope that this information is useful to you and that you will be
interested in applying for a visit.
Best Wishes from the TRACS Team.
