A close exchange with users is essential for the further development of the NHR@KIT services and infrastructures. For this reason, a new series of events has been launched, where operators and users can meet and exchange ideas in an informal setting: HPC Café.   In addition to our established contact channels and training courses, we offer the HPC Café at regular intervals.   The event will take place from 10 am to 12 pm with a keynote speech, which will be followed by a discussion.   Keynote speech topic: Job waiting time and best practices   Of course, a question and answer session is also planned. Here, users can address HPC-related topics and problems. We will try to find solutions together.   Would you like a presentation on a specific topic? Please let us know. --> office@nhr.kit.edu   Over coffee and cookies, the topics raised can be discussed in greater depth.   Please register on Indico event page in order to attend.   We look forward to seeing you there and hope for a lively participation!   For further information, please visit the event website at https://indico.scc.kit.edu/event/4802
