EVITA is part of a broader European effort to strengthen High-Performance Computing (HPC) training and education. It works in close collaboration with other key initiatives such as HPC SPECTRA, CASTIEL2 and EUMaster4HPC to align strategies, share knowledge and ensure coherence across the European HPC ecosystem. These partnerships enhance EVITA’s impact by connecting it with ongoing work in community building, curriculum development and training resource integration.

HPC SPECTRA is an EU-funded initiative focused on building a pan-European training portal for High-Performance Computing (HPC) education. It is now part of the HPC in Europe Portal, which serves as the central platform for sharing HPC-related information across Europe. EVITA will work closely with HPC SPECTRA to develop and maintain the training portal. Once HPC SPECTRA comes to an end, EVITA will take over the platform and continue improving it.

CASTIEL2 is a European coordination and support action that continues the work of CASTIEL by coordinating the National Competence Centres (NCCs) for High-Performance Computing (HPC). In this second phase, several sector-specific Centres of Excellence (CoEs) have been integrated to complement the regionally focused NCCs. CASTIEL2 facilitates structured collaboration and knowledge exchange between these key infrastructures, supporting cooperation on technical topics, training, and outreach. EVITA will collaborate with CASTIEL2 to contribute to community-building, and ensure the visibility and accessibility of outcomes through the HPC in Europe Portal. This synergy will help align communication and training activities across the European HPC landscape.

EuroCC 2 continues the work of EuroCC by supporting National Competence Centres (NCCs) for High-Performance Computing (HPC) across Europe. These centres serve as national hubs for HPC expertise, training, and industry engagement. EuroCC 2 works closely with CASTIEL2 to strengthen collaboration and foster a cohesive European HPC ecosystem.

EUMaster4HPC is a European master’s programme that sets standards for advanced HPC education through a collaborative network of universities and supercomputing centres. EVITA will build on the insights and outcomes of EUMaster4HPC to align its modular training offer with academic curricula and industry needs. This collaboration ensures coherence across HPC education pathways and supports the development of a unified European HPC training ecosystem.
