The ESiWACE3 Consortium is excited to announce an open call for proposals: “Collaborations to prepare Europe’s Weather and Climate Models for pre-exascale Systems.” 

This service offers collaborative projects in which ESiWACE experts provide advice and engineering effort to the applicant. This call aims to support the exascale preparations for the European Earth-System Models (ESM) community

With this service, the ESiWACE3 Consortium establishes collaborative projects in which the ESiWACE experts provide advice and engineering effort to the applicant. Apart from offering limited engineering time and implementing code modifications, the projects aim to provide guidance and establish knowledge transfer between HPC experts and modelling groups.

The call is open to all groups developing and maintaining ESM codes, not only the ESiWACE3 partners. It will run from 13 January 2025 until 3 March 2025 at 14:00 h CET. Proposals will be subject to review regarding technical feasibility by the service-providing partners and undergo a review more focussed on scientific impact by an external committee. When found eligible, the project will be granted an in-kind contribution by one of the partners (or a combination thereof).

Who Can Apply?

The call is open to all groups developing and maintaining Earth-System Modeling codes, including organizations outside the ESiWACE3 partnership.

Timeline

  • Call Opens: 13 January 2025
  • Deadline for Submissions: 3 March 2025, 14:00 CET

Proposal Review Process

Proposals will undergo a two-stage review process:

  1. Technical Feasibility: Conducted by service-providing partners.
  2. Scientific Impact: Assessed by an external committee.

Eligible projects will receive an in-kind contribution from ESiWACE3 partners, which may include technical guidance, code improvements, and engineering time.
