==============================================================================

The Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing (PASC) invites submissions for student travel grants for PASC20, co-sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and SIGHPC, which will be held at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, from June 29 to July 1, 2020.

PASC20 is the seventh edition of the PASC Conference series, an international platform for the exchange of competences in scientific computing and computational science, with a strong focus on methods, tools, algorithms, application challenges, and novel techniques and usage of high performance computing. 

As in previous years, the technical program of PASC20 is organized around eight scientific domains:

* Climate and Weather
* Chemistry and Materials
* Computer Science and Applied Mathematics
* Emerging Application Domains (incl. but not limited to social sciences, finance)
* Engineering (incl. but not limited to CFD, computational mechanics, computational engineering materials, turbulent flow)
* Life Sciences (incl. but not limited to biophysics, genomics, bioinformatics, systems biology, neuroscience and computational biology)
* Physics (incl. but not limited to astrophysics, cosmology, plasma modelling, QCD)
* Solid Earth Dynamics 


SIGHPC is generously sponsoring travel grants for four undergraduate or graduate students to attend PASC20. Two applicants travelling from within Europe and two applicants travelling from another continent will be selected. The students traveling from within Europe will be awarded a maximum grant of $600, and a maximum allowance of $1200 will be given to the selected students traveling from other continents. Moreover, PASC20 will cover the corresponding registration fee for the selected students.

SIGHPC and PASC20 encourage students to submit a contribution to PASC20; however, this is not a requirement of the award.

Selected students will be assigned a mentor for PASC20 who will help them get the most out of the conference by suggesting relevant program sessions and introducing them to experts in their research field.
