The EU H2020 ESCAPE project (www.hpc-escape.eu) brings together numerical weather prediction (NWP), climate and high-performance computing (HPC) communities to develop world-class, extreme-scale computing capabilities for European operational NWP and future climate models. One of the challenges is to execute complex state-of-the-art models of the atmosphere within tight production schedules.

From 18th to 20th October 2016 the 1st ESCAPE Dissemination and Training Workshop on “Towards Energy-efficient Scalable Algorithms for Weather- and Climate Prediction: Status and Prospects” took place at the Konventum Conference Centre (Elsinore/ Helsingor, Denmark). In total, around 50 researchers and students attended the event from universities, research institutions and companies giving 24 oral presentations.

The EU-funded project ESCAPE is looking at improving code efficiency for both weather and climate modelling. ESCAPE is organising its 1st Dissemination and Training workshop between the 18th and 20th October 2016 in Elsinore, Denmark.

Conference4me supports another large conference – GSMA Mobile World Congress 2016. Conference will take place in Barcelona 22-25 February 2016. This is the biggest and most important annual gathering for the world mobile industry.

On 26-30 October SONY delivered to PSNC 8K live cameras and IP Live transmission system, which was bought as a part of the New UHD Media Services in Optical Networks Laboratory of the Future ICT project.

Sony has today announced it is outfitting the PSNC UHD research laboratory with 8K 3D Live over IP technology. The 8K 3D solutions will increase the competitive leadership of The Polish research center and scientific research by delivering detailed, high-quality video transmission over high-speed networks with low-latency, facilitating improved remote production and collaboration among researchers and artists across the country and in Europe.

At the beginning of August 2015 Digital National Museum in Warsaw has been upgraded to the newest version of dMuseion – version 1.1.0.

dArceo is a long term preservation system for source data (e.g. master files), initially developed by PSNC as a part of the SYNAT project . This system has been successfully included in the PSNC package DInGO – the set of tools to digitize and share collections on-line and it is currently used by dozens of Polish cultural and scientific institutions.

The registration for 19th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries organized in Poznan, Poland on 14-18.09.2015 is now open! Early registration deadline is the end of July, late registration closes in the end of August.

PSNC together with eleven leading national research and education networks (NRENs) representing the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and Europe announced the official launch of the second “Enlighten Your Research Global” (EYR-Global) program. This program, which helps accelerate international research collaborations by providing selected proposals with improved networking, data transfers, and/or engineering, is now accepting proposals.

PSNC’s comprehensive activity aimed at forming a vast regional business and technology ecosystem based on the FIWARE platform and the Poznań Internet Innovation Hub has been recognised by the XIFI project which manages the FIWARE Lab federation of infrastructures.

The International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries (TPDL, http://tpdl2015.info/) constitutes a leading scientific forum on digital libraries that brings together researchers, developers, content providers and users in the field of digital libraries.
