The RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS) looks for teams which compete in the 2025 APAC HPC-AI Competition with RIKEN’s support. This project targets undergraduate students, graduate students, and technical college students “KOSEN” who are enrolled in Japanese institutes.

The APAC HPC-AI Competition is an international competition held every year and organized by the HPC-AI Advisory Council, National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) Singapore and National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) Australia. In this competition, students compete in skill of High-performance computing (HPC) and AI.

We will explain the details at the informational meeting scheduled for November 5. Please check the following information about the meeting and register for it if you would like to attend it.

We are looking for passionate undergraduate students, graduate students, and KOSEN students who take on the world with RIKEN.
