First Polish AI Factory Consortium: PIAST-AI

Significant step towards making Europe a leader in AI technology has been taken – the PIAST-AI Factory at PCSS was selected by the European Commission to participate in the “AI Factories” program. This makes the Capital of Wielkopolska region a crucial driving force in the development of fields such as: IT, cybersecurity, space technologies, robotics, and sustainable development.

ICT Research and Development Center

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!

The document indicates it was awarded to **Dr. Ing. Cezary MAZIUREK** for an "outstanding contribution to the development of clinical imaging technology." The woman, who has blonde hair and is wearing a dark blazer over a white top with a necklace and a visible lanyard with the name **"PROF. DR HAB. JOLANTA LOREK-POCIASK"**, stands to the man's right, looking straight ahead with a neutral expression. A **"© Maria Korodziej"** watermark is visible in the bottom left, indicating the photographer.

    Dr inż. Cezary Mazurek Among the Recipients of Virtuti Medicinali 2025

    The distinction – given by the Polish Neuropsychological Society – was presented during the opening ceremony of the 26th Congress of the Polish Neuropsychological Society, entitled “Clinical Neuropsychology and Medicine – Contemporary Challenges in the Diagnosis and Rehabilitation of Patients with Brain Damage”.

  • This image shows two men at a technology conference or exhibition booth, with signage prominently displaying the logos and names of PCSS, KMD4EOSC, and PIAST-AI—projects linked to artificial intelligence and supercomputing infrastructure in Poland. One man is standing and holding a phone and notebook while another sits behind a laptop at a desk, both engaged in discussion. The background features banners with partner organizations and text about the European HPC AI Factory Ecosystem, including logos for European Funds, Poland, and the European Union. The setting is professional, with event badges, informational posters, and chairs visible throughout the convention hall. A small sign referencing the "TOP500" list is placed on the desk, suggesting relevance to high-performance computing rankings.

    The KMD4EOSC project presented at SC25 in St. Louis

    The KMD4EOSC project is the fourth project in the National Data Warehouse series, aimed at building and providing access to data infrastructure and services and applications integrated with the infrastructure for storing, sharing and processing data, including in particular - in the current edition of the project - for calculations in AI models, powering AI models, supporting learning and inference processes.

    Dariah.lab: cultural heritage documentation

    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.
