Applications for the next EUMaster4HPC intake are open until Aug. 15, 2026, for a pan-European MSc that now also covers AI and quantum computing alongside high-performance computing.
Nearly €10 million in funding over six years is meant to train several hundred students as Europe tries to ease a shortage of HPC specialists and bolster digital competitiveness.
120 ECTS credits, study in at least two European countries, and placements at supercomputing centres and industrial partners form the programme’s core structure.
The University of Luxembourg coordinates the new phase with eight other awarding universities and 13 additional higher-education institutions across Europe.
EuroHPC links the degree to its EVITA virtual academy and ETP4HPC industry platform, while the consortium also reviews curricula continuously and seeks higher female participation.
Europe desperately needs digital sovereignty, but will training just a few hundred students truly fix the massive continent-wide supercomputing skills shortage?
With the August 2026 deadline looming, can this €10M European program actually stop local AI and quantum talent from fleeing to foreign tech giants?
