Computational research requires specialized skills not always taught as part of academic curricula. The training done by the Advanced Research Computing centers and organization in Canada and around the world fill this void. In this training landscape, the International High Performance Computing Summer School (IHPCSS) holds a special place. It is an expenses paid, in-person training event that brings together leading experts on High Performance Computing and Big Data Analytics and the students that need this knowledge. Uniquely, it has a strong mentoring component to give advice to students not only about technical issues but also on many other aspects of their studies and career. This year, the Digital Research Alliance of Canada will sponsor about 10 students to go to the IHPCSS in Lisdon, Portugal, July 6-11, 2025. In this talk, we will explain more about the school and how you might apply.
