10th International Conference on Polymer Materials in the Automotive Industry – PMA 2025 and the 26th Slovak Rubber Conference
The prestigious scientific conference PMA & SRC 2025, focused on polymer materials in the automotive industry and rubber research, was held at Smolenice Castle from May 21 to 23, 2025. Among the speakers was Lucia Malíčková from the National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC Slovakia) and the National Competence Centre for High-Performance Computing (NCC for HPC).
In her presentation titled “Computational Modelling and High Performance Computing Driven Innovation in the Development of Polymeric Materials in the Context of the European Competence Centre Framework”, she introduced the potential of high-performance computing (HPC) in the modelling and development of innovative polymeric materials. She also emphasized the importance of collaboration within the European network of competence centres for HPC.
Participation in the event strengthened the connection between the industrial and academic sectors and highlighted the growing importance of HPC solutions for sustainable materials development in the context of the circular economy and innovations in the automotive sector.

Webinar: How a Large Language Model is Created for a Low-Resource Language 14 Aug - Pozývame vás na náš ďalší odborný webinár, ktorý sa zameria na pokroky v oblasti umelej inteligencie pre slovinský jazyk. Podujatie sa uskutoční online v polovici septembra a ponúkne jedinečnú príležitosť nazrieť do zákulisia vývoja veľkého jazykového modelu prispôsobeného pre jazyk s obmedzenými zdrojmi. Prednášajúcim bude Domen Vreš z Univerzity v Ľubľane, Fakulty informatiky a počítačových vied, ktorý sa dlhodobo venuje výskumu v oblasti spracovania prirodzeného jazyka a umelej inteligencie.
Call for Business Experiments – Support for SMEs in the Implementation of HPC Solutions 28 Jun - We draw your attention to the second open call under the FFplus project, which focuses on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in addressing specific business challenges through High Performance Computing (HPC). The aim of the call is to carry out so-called “business experiments” designed to demonstrate that the use of HPC technologies can solve real-world problems and have a positive impact on business.
When Technology Meets Inclusion: A Vision for a Fair Society 25 Jul - In recent days, an inspiring meeting took place between Lucia Maličková, project manager at the National Supercomputing Center and the National Competence Centre for High-Performance Computing (HPC), and Ján Bihari, visionary, founder of Tibi Digital, and thought leader in the field of Roma community digitalization.
