Following a successful series of European Quantum Systems and Software Summits (EQS3) over the past three years, the fifth edition of this event was held in Poznań. This year’s three-day meeting (25-27 June) was co-organized by a renowned quantum expert dr. hab. inż. Krzysztof Kurowski with the support of the Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center (PCSS). EQS3 is a closed conference, aimed at the European scientific community and its international partners, with the primary goal of further shaping a common vision and strategy for the development of European quantum and hybrid systems.

We are thrilled to announce our institutional partnership with the “Quantum Babylon” exhibition, currently on display at the National Museum in Szczecin. The vernissage, held on 26 June 2025, drew not only contemporary art enthusiasts and admirers of Roman Lipski’s work, but also an international group of experimentalists who harness modern technologies to create new dimensions in art & science.

On 25 June 2025, PCSS hosted a special meeting of POLFAR, combined with the opening of the LOFAR ERIC European Research Infrastructure Consortium’s operations in Poland. Among the guests were representatives from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, the Space Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences, the SOLARIS National Synchrotron Radiation Centre, ESO, CTAO ERIC, and, of course, members of the POLFAR consortium, including PCSS.

Today at PCSS a significant step towards making Europe a leader in AI technology has been taken. The PIAST-AI Factory at the Poznań Center 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.

Today, under the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union, EuroHPC JU inaugurated PIAST-Q in Poznań (Poland). This first inauguration of a EuroHPC quantum computer marks a milestone in building a European quantum computing infrastructure. This is also the first EuroHPC infrastructure located in Poland.

At the NVIDIA GTC AI conference for developers in Paris (10-12 June 2025), the PCSS’ name appeared among the leading European institutions in the realm of quantum computing during the speech of the NVIDIA co-founder and CEO, Jensen Huang.

It’s official – next year’s TNC is going to take place in Helsinki (Finland), and the host of the conference will be a Finnish educational network CSC Tieteen tietotekniikan keskus.

On 11 and 12 June 2025, the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw is hosting the annual EUROPEANA conference, dedicated to European cultural heritage. The event is organized by the Europeana Foundation in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, the National Institute of Cultural Heritage, and the conference host – the POLIN Museum. This year’s edition is a part of Poland’s Presidency of the Council of the EU. PCSS is represented at this event by Aleksandra Nowak (Head of the Digital Libraries and Knowledge Platforms Department) and Paweł Marciniak (Digital Libraries and Knowledge Platforms Department).

On 11 and 12 June 2025, the Polish Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development organized the SCAR/BIOEAST conference, focused on research and innovation in the agricultural sector. PCSS was one of the participants in this event, as a partner in the agrifoodTEF project – which supports modern and innovative solutions for agriculture.

On 10 June 2025, the 40th annual International Supercomputing Conference kicked off in Hamburg. For PCSS the first day of this year’s ISC was a truly unforgettable experience! Our booth number E20, which is dedicated to the KMD4EOSC project and state-of-the-art data processing plus storage services, brought the passion for technology straight to the racetrack – resulting in fun galore for both our guests and ourselves!

On 5 i 6 June 2025, the EDIH Network Regional Conference – one of the flagship events of the Polish Presidency of the EU Council – took place in Rzeszów. This regional meeting, organized within the network of European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIH), aimed to strengthen cooperation among EDIH network members from across Europe through knowledge exchange, sharing best practices, and joint actions. PCSS was represented at the conference by Michał Błaszczak, Head of the Internet of Things Technology Department.

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.
