Research project: Use of wave energy for the third generation WEC
On February 2nd, an online presentation of the research project Use of wave energy for the third generation WEC (Wave energy converter) took place in the premises of the Computing Centre of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. The hybrid event was organized by niore Energy s.r.o. and the National Competence Centre for High Performance Computing.
Company niore Energy s.r.o. is focused on the production and storage of clean energy. Experts from niore Energy s.r.o. are plan to become part of the world's electrical grid solution and contribute to global goals by turning ocean waves into electricity and utilizing water for energy storage. This patent-pending concept is based on a floating ring on the ocean's surface. This ring enables the transformation of oscillating motion into rotary motion, which is the motion that generates the most electricity efficiently. The bigger the diameter of the ring, the more sturdy it is against ocean waves, and the more energy we can collect from a broader surface area. Energy Storage, which is also a rotating device floating on the ocean's surface, will serve as the cornerstone for the storage of clean energy, by converting extra electricity into kinetic energy. You can find more information about Energy HUB technologies HEREDuring the presentation of this research project, M. Novák also gave a demonstration of their technology.
Research project Use of wave energy for the third generation WEC is supported by Norwegian grants and the state budget of the Slovak republic.

BeeGFS in Practice — Parallel File Systems for HPC, AI and Data-Intensive Workloads 6 Feb - This webinar introduces BeeGFS, a leading parallel file system designed to support demanding HPC, AI, and data-intensive workloads. Experts from ThinkParQ will explain how parallel file systems work, how BeeGFS is architected, and how it is used in practice across academic, research, and industrial environments.
When a production line knows what will happen in 10 minutes 5 Feb - Every disruption on a production line creates stress. Machines stop, people wait, production slows down, and decisions must be made under pressure. In the food industry—especially in the production of filled pasta products, where the process follows a strictly sequential set of technological steps—one unexpected issue at the end of the line can bring the entire production flow to a halt. But what if the production line could warn in advance that a problem will occur in a few minutes? Or help decide, already during a shift, whether it still makes sense to plan packaging later the same day? These were exactly the questions that stood at the beginning of a research collaboration that brought together industrial data, artificial intelligence, and supercomputing power.
Who Owns AI Inside an Organisation? — Operational Responsibility 5 Feb - This webinar focuses on how organisations can define clear operational responsibility and ownership of AI systems in a proportionate and workable way. Drawing on hands-on experience in data protection, AI governance, and compliance, Petra Fernandes will explore governance approaches that work in practice for both SMEs and larger organisations. The session will highlight internal processes that help organisations stay in control of their AI systems over time, without creating unnecessary administrative burden.
