PRACE booth at the ISC 2025 Exhibition
PRACE is looking forward to welcoming you at our booth A05 at the ISC High Performance 2025 Exhibition!
Come talk to us and find out how becoming a member of PRACE can benefit you and your organisation!
The ISC2025 Exhibition will be open from 10 to 12 June 2025.
Community Artwork
Visit the PRACE booth and add your ‘bit’ to our community artwork.
No template to follow, no pre-set result to achieve, just your preferences for colours and shapes and a little creativity.
Let’s see what we can together!

BoF – Scientific and Innovation Case for HPC in Europe
At ISC 2025, PRACE will organise a Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) session on the Scientific and Innovation Case for HPC in Europe.
More on the current work on this leading publication can be found here, and previous editions can be found here.
This BoF will take place on Wednesday 11 June from 09:00 to 10.00 in Hall G1, 2nd floor.
Go here for the ISC25 SwapCard page of this session.
Make sure to get your PRACE Swag Voucher when attending our BoF!
The Scientific and Innovation Case is a holistic study covering different scientific fields and industrial applications using HPC. The 1st European Scientific and Innovation Case for HPC was initiated by the European HPC Task Force already back in 2004. This first exercise was crucial for the development of the European HPC ecosystem with first national states investing in a competitive HPC infrastructure. Later on, the EC engaged together with the member states in EuroHPC JU funding a European HPC infrastructure. Since research and technology, especially in the field of HPC / IT technology are developing extremely fast, also the Scientific and Innovation Case needs to be updated regularly in order to reflect these new trends and technologies. The last European Scientific and Innovation Case was published 2018. The Scientific and Innovation Case was and it is still very important to secure funding for a HPC infrastructure by demonstrating the achieved results and predicting possible results as well as the need for a sound investment in software and skills. It is also instrumental for ensuring a strong link between the user needs and the large investment in a HPC infrastructure.
The Scientific and Innovation Case provides an in depth understanding of the current use of HPC systems and state-of-the-art in different communities including industry. Beside the traditional scientific simulation fields in fundamental-, life- and earth science, energy and material research, engineering and industrial application, new fields like social sciences and humanities will be addressed in the new Scientific and Innovation Case as well. The Scientific and Innovation Case is crucial in order to understand the current social challenges and analyse the social impact of HPC on our society in general.
The Scientific and Innovation Case also addresses new trends and technology. Today, AI and machine learning are rapidly evolving technologies also impacting the traditional simulation science. In the same way AI is becoming increasingly important also the fast-growing amount of data needs to be considered. The next generation computing with new algorithms and completely new approaches to solve mathematical problems will be discussed also in respect to energy efficiency.
The Scientific and Innovation Case is aiming at predicting future post exascale needs and trends. The analysis of the present results and the prediction of future possibilities will be instrumental for formulating recommendations for all HPC stakeholders, especially funding agencies and politicians.
During this BoF the main findings and recommendations of the Scientific and Innovation Case will be presented and discussed. For a sound scientific case it is crucial to get as many views as possible in a structured way and to perform a sound gap analysis to ensure that all relevant ideas and topics will be addressed. Science and research both academic as industrial are international endeavours based on joint discussions and sharing ideas. The purpose of this BoF is to have an open discussion with members of the research and industrial HPC community and to receive thorough feedback.
