EuroHPC Virtual Training Academy
Logo EVITA

The EuroHPC Virtual Training Academy is developing a standardised European training framework in HPC.

EVITA aspires to create an interconnected community of learners, educators, and industry professionals who are empowered with cutting-edge HPC knowledge and skills. 

Accordingly, EVITA has assembled a consortium of the most impactful actors in HPC education and training within Europe, institutions which are currently coordinating or are heavily involved in the network of EuroHPC Competence Centres, the EUMaster4HPC and the HPC SPECTRA activities.

EVITA will acquire high-quality training modules by establishing a cascade funding mechanism that attracts leading training providers to submit material through open calls. A transparent review process will ensure quality and consistency. The project will develop a didactic concept that integrates pedagogical principles with state-of-the-art technical solutions.

Simultaneously, EVITA will develop an innovative online training platform as a structured repository of training material that is equipped to guide learning and teaching.

The project will create pre-defined learning pathways that will direct learners through various professional profiles. In this context, learners can follow their own paths, and any acquired skill (exam passed) will be certified. Likewise, learners fulfilling training requirements of a professional profile will be certified. 

Moreover, trainers will be able to access a pool of exam questions, including solutions, by selecting modules or full courses through the platform.
