The University of Luxembourg will organize the International HPC Continuum 2026 Conference, which will take place from 6 to 8 July 2026 at the Belval Campus in Luxembourg.
This international three-day conference will bring together researchers, infrastructure actors, industry representatives and operational innovation communities to explore the growing convergence of High-Performance Computing (HPC), artificial intelligence, quantum technologies and next-generation computing ecosystems.
The conference emerges from earlier discussions and special sessions developed in 2023 and 2024 around the evolving concept of the HPC continuum and the convergence of advanced computing technologies. Its programme will include keynote presentations, technical sessions, panels and scientific discussions addressing strategic topics such as AI–HPC convergence, heterogeneous computing environments, workflow orchestration across edge–cloud–HPC infrastructures, scientific and data-intensive computing perspectives, AI-driven methodologies and machine learning, quantum and emerging computing paradigms, data governance and interoperability, as well as operational and industrial deployment challenges.
In addition to infrastructure and ecosystem discussions, the programme will highlight scientific perspectives connected to computational science, simulation, modelling, AI-driven research methodologies, quantum and hybrid computing approaches, and large-scale data-intensive research environments across multiple scientific domains.
As part of the conference, a dedicated Industry Day will focus on operational and industrial perspectives around the deployment, integration and operation of advanced AI and computing systems at scale.
SCALAC welcomes the organization of this international forum, which will contribute to strengthening dialogue among academia, industry, infrastructure centres and innovation communities around the future of HPC and emerging technologies. We are also pleased to highlight that several members of the SCALAC Board and community, including Carlos Jaime Barrios, Esteban Meneses and Lizette Robles, will contribute to the programme and discussions during the conference, bringing perspectives from Latin America and the Caribbean to the global conversation on advanced computing ecosystems.
The International HPC Continuum 2026 Conference represents an important opportunity to foster international collaboration, share experiences and advance toward more scalable, interoperable, sustainable and integrated HPC ecosystems, aligned with today’s scientific, technological and industrial challenges.
