On the 21st of September 2016 the Fortissimo-2 consortium announced the launch of its Second Open Call for proposals. The Fortissimo-2 project (Horizon 2020 contract 680481) is funding a set of application experiments (sub-projects) to extend and demonstrate the business potential of an ecosystem for HPC-Cloud services, specifically for applications involving the simulation of coupled physical processes or high-performance data analytics for engineering or manufacturing.

Experiments are at the core of Fortissimo-2 and its forerunner project Fortissimo. Additional application experiments are sought to complement the current set of nearly 80 experiments in both projects. These application experiments should be driven by requirements from the end- users (SMEs or mid-caps who are first-time HPC users) and bring together all actors in the value chain, from cycle providers to domain experts, leading to new and improved design processes, products or services.

Up to 175000 Eur funding is available for each experiment selected. The call will close on December 7th, 2016.
