National Competence Centre for HPC at ITAPA

National Competence Centre for HPC at ITAPA

The 19th edition of the largest IT conference in Slovakia – ITAPA– took place on December 7 – 9, 2020. The EuroCC project and the National Competence centre for HPC was presented by Lukáš Demovič, director of the Centre of Operations of the Slovak Academy of Sciences and Chairman of the Board of the National Supercumputing centre (NSCC).

In his presentation, L. Demovič introduced the scope and goals of the EuroCC project and underlined the importance of HPC in many areas, such as innovations, digitalization and transformation of industry. The National competence centre for HPC provides services for SMEs, industry, public and academic sector and enables them to utilize HPC, AI HPDA and ML tools in their business or research.

The newly founded National supercomputing centre (NSCC) was established in 2020 as a consortium of the Centre of Operations SAS, the Ministry of Investments, Regional Development and Informatization of the Slovak Republic and the I4DI organization. The NSCC is expected to cooperate closely with the NCC for HPC.

The importance and role of the basic and applied research in the transformation of industry was debated by L. Demovič during a discussion panel together with other participants, including the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy of the Slovak Republic, Richard Sulík.

We are convinced that the EuroCC project will play a key role in overcoming barriers in introducing HPC/HPDA/AI solutions during the informatization and digitalization process and will increase the competence level in these areas in Slovakia significantly.

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.

European Cyber Security Month

European Cyber Security Month

The European Cybersecurity Month (ECSM) is the EU’s annual campaign dedicated to promoting cybersecurity among citizens and organisations, and to providing up-to-date online security information through awareness raising and sharing of good practices. Each year, for the entire month of October, hundreds of activities take place across Europe, including conferences, workshops, trainings, webinars, presentations and more, to promote digital security and cyber hygiene.

The EU Agency for Cybersecurity coordinates the organisation of the ECSM campaign by acting as a “hub” for all participating Member States and EU Institutions, and by providing expert suggestions, generating synergies and promoting common messaging among EU citizens, businesses and public administration. The Agency also publishes new materials and provides expert advice on different cybersecurity topics for Member States’ audiences.

The main objectives of the European CyberSecMonth are the following:

  • Raise security awareness among a wide spectrum of addressees as defined in the EU Cyber Security Strategy.
  • Spread awareness about NIS Directive and its importance.
  • Promote rules of safer use of the Internet for all users.
  • Involve all important entities in raising security awareness.
  • Increase a media interest in raising security awareness across and outside Europe as well.
  • Enhance interest in cyber security topic through political and media coordination.

Hlavným odkazom ECSM je: The motto of the campaign is: Cyber Security is a Shared Responsibility!
