The joint doctoral project “Advanced computing, QuanTum algorIthms and data-driVen Approaches for science, Technology and Engineering (AQTIVATE)” will deliver an interdisciplinary training program for fifteen fellows who will learn to utilise high performance computing, develop scalable algorithms and machine learning approaches, and explore quantum computing for research projects from physics, engineering and biology.

The AQTIVATE kick-off event will take place at the University of Cyprus on 28, 29 and 30 September 2023.

In this meeting, the AQTIVATE fellows, supervisors and mentors will gather to get to know each other. The fellows will present their research done for their Master thesis, draft their personal career development plans and plan future steps. The meeting will include discussion sessions regarding diversity, sustainable research management and environmental awareness in the context of the Early Stage Researchers’ (ESRs) individual personal development and research perspectives.

AQTIVATE engages nine degree awarding institutions (DAIs) and four major research centres, including four national supercomputing centres in Cyprus, Germany, Italy and Sweden, one non-degree higher-educational institution, five companies as associated partners, NVIDIA participating through its research labs at two supercomputing centres, and IBM to join as a future associate partner.

AQTIVATE will deliver joint degrees between at least two DAIs.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Networks action and Grant Agreement No 101072344.
