In December 2009, the steering committee of HP2C selected the following 8 projects to be supported:

• Advanced Gyrokinetic - Advanced gyrokinetic numerical simulations of turbulence in fusion plasmas; Prof. Laurent Villard, EPF Lausanne
• CP2K - New Frontiers in ab initio Molecular Dynamics; Prof. Dr. Juerg Hutter, Uni Zürich
• Computational Cosmology    Computational Cosmology on the Petascale; Prof. Dr. George Lake, Uni Zürich
• Selectome - Selectome, looking for Darwinian evolution in the tree of life; Prof. Dr. Marc Robinson-Rechavi, Uni Lausanne
• Cardiovascular System - HPC for Cardiovascular System Simulations; Prof. Alfio Quarteroni, EPFL
• MAQUIS - Modern Algorithms for Quantum Interacting Systems; Prof. Thierry Giamarchi, University of Geneva
• PETAQUAKE - Large-Scale Parallel Nonlinear Optimization for High Resolution 3D-Seismic Imaging; Dr. Olaf Schenk, Uni Basel
• Stellar Explosions - Productive 3D Models of Stellar Explosions; Dr. Matthias Liebendörfer, Uni Basel

A decision about 4 additional projects is expected in the next weeks.
