HPC Continuum 2026 Conference

HPC Continuum Conference 6-8 July 2026

The HPC Continuum 2026 Conference is a three-day international scientific conference focused on High-Performance Computing (HPC) and emerging trends, including Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing. The event will be held at the University of Luxembourg on the Belval Campus, and is open to the global HPC community.

The HPC Continuum Conference is a three-day international scientific conference addressing emerging trends in High-Performance Computing (HPC).

Over three days, the programme will cover:

  • strategic perspectives on AI, HPC and Quantum Computing convergence,
  • industrial deployment and infrastructure challenges,
  • sovereign AI and trusted digital ecosystems,
  • and emerging approaches to next-generation computing and operational AI systems.

The conference also features a dedicated Industry Day focused on the deployment, integration and operation of AI and advanced computing systems at scale.

The HPC Continuum Conference is designed as a European forum connecting research, infrastructure, industry and operational innovation communities.

The event brings together leading actors from academia, industry and infrastructure ecosystems to explore how AI, High-Performance Computing and Quantum technologies are converging across real-world operational environments.

Panels and round tables will complement the programme by addressing strategic challenges and future directions for the field.

The conference is organised alongside the EUMaster4HPC Summer School, which complements the programme by enabling in-depth engagement with early-career researchers and facilitating exchange with a global community of HPC experts, including leading researchers from over 23 countries. Together, these activities ensure a high-level scientific programme at the intersection of artificial intelligence, quantum computing, data-centric systems, cybersecurity, and sustainability.
