The presentation was held for European Commission’s Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (DG RTD) and Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG CNECT) and EOSC Association.

The 25th edition of the International Agricultural Exhibition AGRO SHOW took place in Bednary near Poznań between 20 and 22 September 2024. One of the events during the exhibition was the presentation of the AgriFoodTEF project, which was created by the Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center, among others.

On 24 October 2024 Poznań, also known as the Capital of Wielkopolska region, will host the autumn meeting of SIG-MSP (Special Interest Group – Management of Service Portfolios) which operates under the auspices of the major European computer network GÉANT. Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center will be the co-host of this event, which is going to bring together members of National Research and Education Networks from all over Europe.

“Contemporary trends and perspectives in computer science and management” is the motto of the 1st National Conference for Young Scientists, which will take place on 17 and 18 October, 2024. The event is organised by the Poznan University of Technology under the auspices of the Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center.

During this year’s edition of Researcher’s Night PSNC gave their guests access to the state-of-the-art technology in the shape of HPC’s and a quantum machine. Aspiring researchers could also learn how to professionally record a podcast, act as a journalist in front of a TV camera or even try to handle the camera itself. There were robots, drones and fun galore – everything just to let all the visitors get as close as possible to the beauty of engineering in as many aspects as possible. One of the highlights of the evening was a cutting edge board game that lets you understand what actually is this quantum technology everybody’s talking so much about.

For three days, from 25 to 27 September 2024, the Romanian city of Timișoara hosted the LivingLabs community meeting as part of the OpenLivingLab Days 2024 (OLLD24). Ewelina Moszyk from PSNC Future Labs was one of the speakers at the event, taking part in the panel discussion ‘Business value of Living labs acting for Zero Emissions and Pollution’.

On 12 September 2024 Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center and Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań signed an agreement launching the creation of the Consortium of Quantum Technologies. The consortium’s main objectives include: quantum computing, machine learning and simulations. Both institutions are going to work together on improving competences and promoting quantum technologies, as well as benefits we gain from them.

XXXIII Economic Forum took place in a picturesque city of Karpacz in the Polish mountains between 3 and 5 September 2024. “Time of New Leaders – Shaping the Future Together” was the theme chosen for this year’s edition of the event. On the final day of the meeting a question concerning quantum computing was posed and PSNC was there to deliver the answer.

We would like to invite you to the XXIX SIMULIA Users’ Conference, which will take place in Poznań, Poland on 22 and 23 October. This is the most important event related to simulation in Poland, organised by TECHNIA POLAND, a partner of Dassault Systemes – a leader in the computer simulation industry. The Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center is the patron of the conference.

The 15th international conference “Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics” (PPAM 2024) will be held on September 8-11, 2024 in Ostrava, Czech Republic, during which the workshop “Workshop on Advancements of Global Challenges Applications” (AGCA) will be organized.

On 2 August, Dariusz Standerski, Deputy Minister of Digitalisation, met with Anders Jensen, Director of EURO HPC, at the headquarters of the Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center. The meeting was devoted to the implementation of strategic plans for the construction of the largest ion trap-based quantum computer in Europe.

On 20 June 2024, a seminar was held in Warsaw to finalise the PL-5G National Laboratory for Advanced 5G Research project implemented by the PL-5G consortium, which includes, among others, the Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center. The main objective of the project is to provide easy and universal access to an environment that enables research and development of 5G technology. The event was an opportunity to meet the members of the consortium and to summarise the joint work.
