EuroHPC Summit 2025

The EuroHPC Summit 2025 successfully brought together key stakeholders from the European high-performance computing (HPC), quantum computing, and artificial intelligence (AI) communities. This year’s edition saw an impressive participation of over 1000 attendees, fostering valuable exchanges among researchers, industrial users, technology providers, and policymakers.

The Summit served as a platform to highlight the latest advancements and opportunities within the European supercomputing ecosystem. A major highlight of the event was the Demo Lab, which featured nine operational HPC systems, offering hands-on demonstrations of cutting-edge computational technologies. Additionally, a new feature introduced this year, the Quantum Insights Tunnel, provided attendees with an exclusive look at all procured EuroHPC quantum computers. This exhibition demonstrated the diverse and complementary quantum technologies currently shaping Europe’s quantum computing landscape. The EuroHPC HPC and quantum hosting sites played an active role in engaging with the community during the Summit, answering questions, and showcasing the potential of these EuroHPC systems.

EUMaster4HPC students, once again, acting as HPC Ambassadors, supported the Demo Lab and the support teams from the Hosting Entities, assisted with logistics, and engaged with the guests. In addition, during the plenary session dedicated to skills and talent, an award session was dedicated to students who took part in an HPC challenge on graph colouring, using EuroHPC supercomputer VEGA.

Beyond technological showcases, the Summit provided a platform for critical discussions on the present and future of HPC, AI, hardware and quantum computing. The event featured a structured programme comprising 15 parallel sessions and 6 plenary sessions, allowing participants to dive deep into technical and strategic topics. These sessions facilitated meaningful exchanges, helping to identify challenges and explore solutions to advance Europe’s position in the global supercomputing landscape.

Another key feature of the Summit was the posters' session, which showcased all EuroHPC JU-funded projects. Each day, for one hour during the coffee breaks, guests had the opportunity to engage with project representatives and discuss specific topics, fostering deeper understanding on their work. 

The EuroHPC Summit 2025 not only highlighted groundbreaking technological advancements in several fields, but also reinforced the importance of collaboration. Attendees had the opportunity to network and connect with key figures across the HPC ecosystem, fostering new partnerships and strengthening existing collaborations. 

A career fair was also organised, bringing together 50 companies from several fields, including quantum computing, hardware, AI, applications, and HPC, and attracted more than 100 participants, mostly students, looking to explore career opportunities in these domains. 

The EuroHPC Summit 2025 proved once again to be a major event for the European HPC, quantum computing, and AI communities. The event successfully set the stage for continued collaboration and progress, ensuring that EuroHPC JU is leading the way in European supercomputing.
