This year’s CECAM School called “Advanced CFD and Turbulence Modelling targeting HPC” partnered with the EuroHPC EXCELLERAT P2 project to offer training to a group of 17 people coming mainly from Universities and Research Centres. Running from October 20-22, 2026 at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center in Spain, three main lectures were given by Guillaume Houzeaux (BSC, SP), Wei Wang (STFC, UK) and Yvan Fournier (EDF, FR), on solver coupling, turbulence and conjugate heat transfer, and GPU implementation, respectively.

On 13–14 October 2026, the EXCELLERAT P2 consortium met at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, for its All-Hands Meeting (AHM). Partners from across Europe came together to review progress, exchange updates on technical developments and discuss priorities as the project approaches its conclusion.

After three intensive and inspiring days at Vehicle Tech Week Europe 2026 in Stuttgart, we can look back on a very successful edition of the EXCELLERAT Academia Lounge and our Industry–Academia Collaboration activities.
During the event, our stand welcomed more than 150 industry contacts, confirming once again the strong interest of the automotive sector in engaging directly with European research organisations and universities. We also had the honour of presenting EXCELLERAT P2 and its activities during the conference programme, as well as introducing our Academia Lounge concept: a dedicated space where researchers, universities, research centres, and industrial stakeholders can meet, exchange ideas, and explore future collaborations.
