Over 200 scientific and industrial participants attended the PRACEdays14 Scientific and Industrial Conference and its satellite events in Barcelona, which included an open session of the Partnership for Advanced Comouting in Europe (PRACE) User Forum, and a Workshop on Exascale and PRACE Prototypes.
Highlights of the conference, which was hosted by PRACE and supported by the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre from May 20 to 22, 2014, were keynote speeches by well-known academic scientists and industrial researchers from the US and Europe, as well as by high-level representatives from the European Commission and from industry. A full parallel stream was dedicated to presentations from SMEs who have already benefited from the PRACE SHAPE programme (http://www.prace-ri.eu/shape).
The final panel on 22 May brought together the keynote speakers for a discussion on Economic and scientific impact of collaboration between science and industry. The full programme can be found here: http://www.prace-ri.eu/pracedays14
