Projet FairCFD (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2024)
Action : Doctoral Networks
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : SIGNED

FairCFD aims to transform Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) by promoting eco-responsible and efficient numerical methods through a cutting-edge doctoral network. Fully aligned with the European Green Deal and MSCA Green Charter, it embeds sustainability into High-Performance Computing (HPC) while advancing methodologies to reduce environmental impact. The project brings together 8 European universities, one national research center, and 6 industrial partners to train 15 Doctoral Candidates (DCs) in interdisciplinary approaches combining computational science, environmental engineering, and social sciences. Fourteen DCs will address industrially relevant challenges, advancing technological innovation, while one will provide an ethnographic perspective on the network’s practices. The program emphasizes excellence in doctoral training through international secondments, interdisciplinary collaboration, and exposure to academic and industrial environments. This prepares DCs with the skills to meet evolving market needs while strengthening Europe’s innovation capacity and structuring doctoral research at the European level. This aligns with market demands for experts capable of balancing computational performance and with sustainability in sectors like energy, transportation, and aerodynamics. By improving numerical efficiency, fostering frugality, and developing transparent metrics, FairCFD supports industries and research institutions in meeting future sustainability goals. FairCFD will deliver innovative efficient simulation methods combining physics and data, metrics to quantify environmental costs, and open-source tools, ensuring wide dissemination and impact. The project positions Europe as a leader in eco-responsible scientific computing and sets a benchmark for sustainability-focused doctoral education.
