EuroCC 2 & CoEs & CASTIEL 2 Intermediate Conference in Slovakia
Amidst the picturesque landscape of the Slovak High Tatra Mountains, the members of European National Competence Centres and Centres of Excellence met during the all-hands meeting to discuss the project development and show the progress that has been made.
The sessions started on Monday, April 22 with a warm welcome from the Project Management Team and the local hosts from NCC Slovakia. Discussions then covered recent development and information from the project first year review and then continued with identification of synergies between NCCs and CoEs, laying the groundwork for collaborative endeavors and knowledge exchange. The discussions were not just theoretical, they were practical blueprints for fostering cohesion and maximizing impact within the EuroCC 2 ecosystem.
On the second day, the focus shifted towards practical matters of funding, competencies, and strategic planning. Workshops on budget allocation with CASTIEL 2 and discussions on the competencies of NCCs and CoEs provided invaluable insights into the financial and intellectual scaffolding necessary for sustainable growth.
The conference was a testament to the diversity of the EuroCC 2 community. From thematic clusters to industry approaches and training baselines, participants delved deep into the intricacies of their respective domains, forging connections and laying the groundwork for future collaborations.
The participants also had the opportunity to stretch their legs during an excursion around the Štrbské pleso lake, fostering camaraderie and strengthening bonds beyond the confines of conference rooms.

MATLAB WORKSHOP: Scaling Algorithms and Simulations Using Parallel Computing 25 Sep - Computationally intensive tasks, processing large volumes of data, and repeated simulation runs are everyday challenges in both science and industry. Modern approaches make it possible to significantly accelerate these processes by leveraging parallel computing and available hardware resources – from multiple CPU cores to GPU acceleration. MATLAB and Simulink offer a wide range of possibilities to efficiently utilize these resources without the need for specialized knowledge of GPU programming or complex HPC solutions.
The computing power of HPC brings new opportunities in the protection of the brown bear 23 Sep - Vysokovýkonné počítanie (HPC) predstavuje kľúčovú technológiu modernej doby, ktorá zásadne mení spôsob, akým vedci, výskumníci aj firmy riešia zložité problémy. Superpočítače dokážu spracovať obrovské objemy dát a vykonať miliardy výpočtov za sekundu – úlohy, ktoré by na bežných počítačoch trvali mesiace či roky, zvládajú v priebehu hodín alebo dní.
