TOP About R-CCS Career Development R-CCS Schools

RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS) offers school programs in computer programming and other subjects that include practical training. These programs are held for students, young researchers and other trainees.
(Application and program periods in parentheses are a general guide; see Future Events for specific information about the programs for each year.)

Overview

International HPC Summer School (Advanced Level)

(Application period: January to February, Event date: June, Language: English)
This five-day program is held jointly by institutions in Japan (R-CCS), Europe, the United States, Canada and Australia, usually in June. Through lectures and practical training conducted by leading researchers in the HPC-related fields, the trainees acquire new knowledge from a wide-ranging perspective and are able to experience international and cross-sectoral exchanges with other trainees of the same generation.

RIKEN International HPC Summer School (Advanced Level)

(Application period: June to July, Event date: September, Language: English)
This program for graduate students and PhD holders (including international students) affiliated with overseas and domestic institutions will be offered. The three-five-day program provides instruction in state-of-the-art research in computational science and technology fields, and also includes practical training. Young researchers at overseas institutions that have ties to R-CCS also participate in the program.

RIKEN International HPC Spring School (Expertise Level)

(Application period: December to January, Event date: February, Language: English)
This program for graduate students and PhD holders (including international students) affiliated with overseas and domestic institutions will be offered. The three-day program provides instruction in state-of-the-art research in computational science and technology fields and also includes practical training.

RIKEN HPC Summer School (Expertise Level)

(Application period: June to July, Event date: September, Language: Japanese)
This program for graduate students and PhD holders (including international students) affiliated with domestic institutions will be offered. The three-day program provides instruction in state-of-the-art research in computational science and technology fields and also includes practical training. The program content will be the same as that of RIKEN International HPC Spring School and will be provided in Japanese.

KOBE HPC Summer School (Basic Level)

(Application period: June to July, Event date: August, Language: Japanese)
In this five-day school program, which is usually held in August, students and young researchers learn about the basics of programming techniques for mastering the use of parallel computers.
In addition to lectures that include practical training, the program also features presentations by researchers on practical examples of the use of a supercomputer such as Fugaku as well as visits to the R-CCS facility.

Note: The KOBE HPC Spring School, an advanced version of this school, ended in FY2021.
