Twinning SK-CZ: Engineering applications
On May 12.-13. 2022, we organized a twinning workshop at the Congress Center SAS Academia in Stará Lesná with the Czech National Competence Center for HPC, which operates within IT4I in Ostrava. The workshop focused on engineering applications and advanced modeling of, for example, complex fluid dynamics, turbulence, heat transfer, acoustics, mechanics etc.
The workshop was also attended by representatives of private companies, so it also included a brief introduction to the competence center, the EuroCC project and opportunities for using the HPC approach and services in Slovakia and Europe.
The head of the Czech Competence Center for HPC, Tomáš Karásek, presented interesting examples of successful cooperation with companies, but also academic institutions in this area - you can find many of them HEREAnother important topic was a comprehensive overview of available software tools in this domain. Several open-source and commercial software packages are currently available and in development, and during the workshop we also learned about their strengths and weaknesses.
At the end of this pleasant event, we exchanged experiences and procedures with Czech colleagues in cooperation with the private sector and the management of clients from small and medium-sized enterprises.

How Projects Addressing AI in Industry Are Created 2025 19 Nov - Umelá inteligencia sa stáva neoddeliteľnou súčasťou európskeho priemyslu aj výskumu a zásadne mení spôsob, akým vznikajú inovatívne projekty. Európska komisia preto prichádza s dvomi novými AI stratégiami – jednou zameranou na aplikovanie umelej inteligencie v kľúčových priemyselných sektoroch a druhou na vedecké využitie AI. Tieto iniciatívy prinášajú nové investičné a projektové príležitosti aj pre slovenské inštitúcie a firmy, najmä prostredníctvom programu Horizont Európa.
Online Lecture: HPC & AI – Competition or Collaboration? 7 Nov - On 26 November 2025 at 10:00, we are hosting a special online lecture dedicated to the rapidly evolving topic of the interplay between high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI). Our guest will be Erwin Laure, one of the most prominent figures in the European HPC ecosystem.
