One Logo, One Name – Even More Possibilities
We are pleased to announce that official name of our Center has just been unified. Henceforth, the one name that represents us globally is PCSS.
PSNC provides access to a world-class e-Infrastructure for the scientific community, a specific research and development environment – DIGITAL SCIENCE – for “proof of concept” projects, prototyping or large-scale pilot projects. Another branch of our activity is in DIGITAL INDUSTRY, which is focused on the creation of innovations based on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), i.e. the execution of specific implementations for various fields of science and industry. Equally important is our work in the context of SOCIAL INNOVATION to spread knowledge and awareness of contemporary technological opportunities among various social groups, as well as actively fighting against digital exclusion.
For over 30 years, we have been open to extensive cooperation both with research institutions to explore new areas of scientific challenges in joint projects and with industry partners – new entrants or large companies for which our competence and experience can become a strong asset to develop competitive innovation. Come and join us!

3D-4CH is a European project the goal of which is to revolutionize the way cultural heritage is protected, digitized, and made accessible through the use of advanced 3D technologies, artificial intelligence, and extended reality. Now you can also contribute to saving the precious cultural heritage for the next generations. Just take a short survey aimed at individuals, companies, and institutions that conduct courses or workshops related to the digitization of cultural heritage. The deadline for completing this survey is 21 May 2025.
"The Connecting Europe Tour" is a video-blog project presented by Nomios and Nokia. Nat and Fraser, two young and witty entrepreneurs are on an exciting journey across Europe to dive into the world of cutting-edge technology and innovation. Throughout the mini series the guys visit: London, Cambridge, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Geneva, Berlin and Poznań – where they explore the backbone of European research and education, the GÉANT network.
The Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center (PCSS) and Wielkopolska Agency for Enterprise Development (WARP) signed a letter of intent regarding cooperation in the area of cybersecurity. In its initial phase, the cooperation will feature the dissemination and promotion of information about cybersecurity and the security of ICT systems among entrepreneurs in Wielkopolska (Greater Poland) Voivodeship.
The European Commission sets course for Europe’s AI leadership with an ambitious AI Continent Action Plan. Becoming a global leader in artificial intelligence is the objective of the AI Continent Action Plan, which has been launched today.
Would you like to experience quantum technologies? Just join our adventure and you will! PSNC specialists who participate in the Superheroes 4 Science project created a very special game which combines science and fun! The game is called “Parallel Quest” and it guides its players through the mysteries of supercomputers and parallel programming. Surprisingly enough, that quest is available both as a traditional board game and an online entity which pops up in your regular browser.
TNC in Brighton is an excellent opportunity to make new connections, and the TNC Exchange is the perfect place to do it! This vibrant, open space offers exhibition stands, comfortable lounge areas, and the TNC Café. It's also where you can visit the joint stand of PCSS and the PIONIER Consortium.
The 2025 edition of the TNC conference is about to begin. The most significant European event dedicated to research and academic networks is taking place in Brighton (UK), from 9 to 13 June. "Brighter Together" is the official slogan of this year’s edition, which also marks PCSS’ tenth anniversary as the conference's official technological partner.

The initial meeting of the Q-Chronos project took place at the PCSS headquarters on 5 June 5 2025. In practice this project is a system of mobile quantum sensors with optical clocks integrated into telecommunication networks. All project consortium members participated in the event. Apart from the PCSS specialists, there were representatives from the Space Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences (CBK PAN), Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, and AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków.
Another edition of the Women In Tech Summit took place in Warsaw. The three days (3-5 June 2025) of this technological conference were a great opportunity to share experiences with representatives of many scientific institutions. They also confirmed an enormous interest in quantum technologies, reflected, among others, in the creation of a separate quantum path within this summit, consisting of over a dozen events entirely devoted exclusively to quantum topics.
On 5 and 6 June 2025, PCSS headquarters (CBPIO) was the heart of the EmpowerHer project created for women who have survived breast cancer and are currently returning to normal life. The first day was divided into a hybrid meeting of experts (Expert Team EmpowerHer) and discussions among partners of this very special undertaking, which continued on day two.
The first edition of the European Science Fair (June 3-6, 2025) has commenced in Poznań. This event is an integral part of ITM INDUSTRY EUROPE – the largest trade fair event in Central and Eastern Europe, where companies from around the world showcase solutions aligned with the Industry 4.0 concept. The combination of science and industry is what we do at PCSS, so our Center had to be present at the Poznań International Fair grounds, where it all takes place.
On 2 June 2025, the fifth general meeting of the European 5G-TACTIC project took place at PCSS' headquarters. Discussions during the event concerned organizational matters and the key assumptions of the project. The 5G-TACTIC project is implemented by 15 institutions, which together form the project’s consortium.
The latest, June issue of the magazine "CONNECT", focused on the GÉANT network and community, features an article on next-generation research infrastructures. These projects are being implemented within four leading projects run by PCSS and based on the PIONIER Network.
The newest issue of Nature magazine (04/2025) features an article titled “Long-Distance Coherent Quantum Communications in Deployed Telcom Networks” and one of its coauthors is Piotr Rydlichowski – a PSNC’s researcher from the Centre’s Network Technologies Division.
At the end of 2024, GÉANT released a report identifying the key opportunities and challenges facing the NREN community (National Research and Education Network) in the coming decade. One of the authors of this document is Raimundas Tuminauskas – Head of the Network Infrastructure and Services Department at PSNC.
This year's Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry highlight the groundbreaking role of artificial intelligence in those fields. To get insights into this significant development, we reached out to Dr Mikołaj Buchwald – an expert from the PSNC Internet Services Department, whose research interests include cognitive neuroscience, machine learning methodology, as well as using AI plus advanced data analysis to explain human physiology and psychology.
Thanks to the Dariah.lab infrastructure, the first pilot projects for the preservation and dissemination of cultural heritage resources have been implemented in 2023. Dariah.lab is a research infrastructure for the humanities and arts, built as part of the DARIAH-PL project. It serves to acquire, store and integrate cultural data from the humanities and social sciences, and to process, visualise and share digital resources.
Here is a short sellection of recent articles on PSNC that have appeared in some international media.
