A successful first day of the exhibition at booth #827

We invite you to read an interview with Prof. Dr. Michał Nowicki, Vice-Rector for Research and International Relations, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, in which he discusses issues related to the use of modern ICT technologies in a variety of health and medical contexts.

The latest issue of "CONNECT" magazine, which focuses on the GÉANT network and community, published an article on three decades of activity of the Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center. The publication describes the most important events in the history of the PSNC, which is an important international node of the European Research Area in the field of information technology infrastructure for science and an important research and development center for information and communication technologies.

The search for reliable and efficient algorithms to facilitate the work of doctors, the search for new biological markers for specific diseases, the support of diagnosis and better methods for quantifying the therapeutic process are among the greatest challenges of modern societies, which are being addressed at the Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center.

For over 30 years, the Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center has been providing access to world-class e-Infrastructure, thus creating a unique research and development environment working towards socio-economic Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The projects implemented in this area at PSNC include ILIAD and HIDALGO2.

The past year 2023 has brought many interesting solutions in the field of digital libraries and the aggregation of digital cultural heritage data. In cooperation with the Silesian Library and the University of Wrocław the following activities were carried out: the development of the DInGO software package, which resulted in the first implementations of the seventh generation of the dLibra system, characterised by a new layout of the user interface, a new method of searching resources made available in the system and their presentation taking into account the occurrence of search terms in the content of the object.

Poland's first quantum photonic computing systems were installed at the beginning of December 2023. Two machines from ORCA Computing, purchased as part of the EuroHPC-PL project, were delivered to the PSNC headquarters. We invite you to listen to Radio TOK FM's interview with Piotr Rydlichowski - a specialist in quantum technologies from PSNC's Network and Service Infrastructure Department - about how to exploit the potential of these systems.
