Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA) is part of a network of eight Italian higher education institutions collaborating on the Educating Future Citizens (EFC) project, funded by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). The initiative aims to strengthen orientation and advanced training activities, offering new opportunities for upper secondary school and university students.

The Master in High Performance Computing (MHPC), jointly organized by the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) and the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), is now accepting applications for its 12th edition. This advanced training program is designed to equip students with the skills needed to harness, manage, and optimize cutting-edge HPC technologies.

About the Program

MHPC is a 12-month intensive specialization course that provides a solid foundation in:
