The European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) has launched a new call to support the development of Centres of Excellence (CoEs) and next-generation software, known as Lighthouse Codes, that can tackle major scientific, industrial, and societal challenges.

The new CoEs and Lighthouse Codes resulting from this call will work in close collaboration with other initiatives such as the AI Factories, the EuroHPC Training Academy, and national HPC competence centres for HPC. 

The call covers three targeted topics: 

  1. Community Centres of Excellence (HORIZON-JU-EUROHPC-2026-COE-LH-01-01)
  2. Transversal Centres of Excellence (HORIZON-JU-EUROHPC-2026-COE-LH-01-02) 
  3. Lighthouse Codes for HPC Applications (HORIZON-JU-EUROHPC-2026-COE-LH-01-03) 

The call is funded by Horizon Europe and open for submission until 20 January 2026, 17:00 (CET).
