Dear VSC users and friends,
we invite you to participate in the ASHPC26 – Austrian-Slovenian HPC Meeting 2026, https://ashpc.eu/e/ASHPC26, which will take place at TUtheSky, TU Wien, Vienna, Austria https://www.google.at/maps/place/TU+the+Sky/@48.2007999,16.3635877,17z/data…, 8–10 April 2026.
ASHPC26 will continue the tradition of the annual Austrian HPC Meetings (2015–2020) and the Austrian-Slovenian HPC Meetings (2021–2025) bringing together users and providers of large-scale computing resources for both academic and non-academic research and development. ASHPC26 will focus on various aspects of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and provides a great opportunity to discuss HPC-related topics and present your latest results. It will also provide an overview and update on the rapidly improving AI and HPC landscape available to European researchers and serve as a platform for exchanging experiences related to the usage and operation of large-scale computing resources and the challenges encountered.
The program committee is still working on setting up the invited program for ASHPC26 to prepare an exciting mix about the current state-of-the-art in HPC and future trends. The invited program will be available on the conference website as soon as the speakers are confirmed.
On Tuesday, 7 April 2026, in the afternoon preceding ASHPC26, there will be a Central European NCCs Workgroup Meeting – CE-NCCs-WG (for NCC / EuroCC 2/3 staff only) where the National Competence Centres (NCCs) address their most challenging topics and further regional collaboration.

We are now accepting abstracts for contributed talks and posters at ASHPC26. We encourage you to submit an abstract highlighting your work and expertise related to High-Performance Computing (HPC). Topics may include applications of HPC, research conducted on HPC clusters, systems engineering (software, storage, networking, etc.), and any other HPC-related subjects. All submitted abstracts will be reviewed, and accepted submissions will be published in the Booklet of Abstracts.
Abstract submissions can be made at https://ashpc.eu/event/27/abstracts/https://ashpc.eu/event/25/abstracts/until 15 February 2026.
