The Train the Trainer Program is provided in conjunction with the regular course Parallel Programming Workshop (MPI, OpenMP and Advanced Topics). Whereas the regular course teaches parallel programming, this program is designed to train future trainers in parallel programming.
Too few people can offer parallel programming courses at the level needed by scientists and PhD students who want to learn how to parallelize a sequential application or to improve parallel applications. Within Europe, only a few HPC centres provide such courses at European or national level. We would like to support additional trainers and centres to also deliver such courses throughout Europe or at least in their own countries.
This course is a joint training event of HLRS and EuroCC@GCS, the German National Competence Centres for High-Performance Computing.

You are familiar with parallel programming with MPI and OpenMP on an advanced level and skilled in both programming languages C and Fortran (or Python for the MPI part).
Your goal: You want to provide MPI and OpenMP courses for other scientists and PhD students in your country, i.e., you would like to at least provide the first three days of the regular course as a training block-course.
Your centre (see "Background" here below) is affiliated to one National Competence Centre (NCC) of EuroCC.
Background:
(a) Your centre supports you to provide such PhD courses at your centre and has access to an HPC resource that allows MPI and OpenMP programming in C and Fortran (or Python for the MPI part). To this purpose, a centre may send two or three TtT participants together to this course. Additionally, you may have already participated as a regular participant in one of our other courses, so that you are already familiar with all the exercises.
Or (b), you as a future trainer would like to co-operate with a centre with the necessary course infrastructure in your country.
What does this Train the Trainer Program provide?
The Train the Trainer Program includes the curriculum from Monday until Friday according to the course agenda. The Train the Trainer Program starts on Monday with a short introductory meeting at 8:15 am. On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday we will have a short review/discussion meeting after the course. On Thursday evening we will have an additional meeting and dinner for all participants of this TtT program. On Friday, we will wrap up with a short review at the end (17:00-17:30).
Additional prerequisites:

This course provides scientific training in Computational Science for the future trainers.
Besides the content of the training itself, an important aspect of this event is the scientific exchange among the participants. We try to facilitate such communication by
