Artificial Intelligence and a Supercomputer as a New Weapon Against Environmental Disasters26 Mar-Scientists from Nitra, Slovakia are teaching machines to predict industrial failures before they can cause damage. Thanks to collaboration with the European supercomputer LUMI, they have developed a digital “guardian” capable of detecting pipeline leaks or manufacturing faults with high accuracy—helping protect both the environment and companies’ budgets.
The Slovak Recipe for Fair Play and Happier Players25 Mar-Do you play games on your phone and sometimes feel like the game just doesn’t understand you? Experts from Nitra, Slovakia, have used one of Europe’s most powerful supercomputers to change that. Thanks to the Italian giant named Leonardo, they discovered how to read between the lines of player behavior and make the gaming experience more personal and fair.
Lecture on HPC, AI and Career Opportunities15 Mar-At the Faculty of Commerce of the University of Economics in Bratislava (EUBA), a guest lecture was held on 10 March 2026 focusing on current trends in high-performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence (AI), and career opportunities in the digital environment.
AI and Supercomputers in Practice: A Lecture for TUKE Students13 Mar-On 5 March 2026, an expert lecture by Dr. Lucia Malíčková from the National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) took place at the Technical University of Košice (TUKE), titled “Can Supercomputers and Artificial Intelligence Be Useful?”. The event was held in lecture hall PK7 in a hybrid format (both online and in person) and was attended by 110 TUKE students.
Accountability by Design: Turning AI Standards into Practice and Certification12 Mar-Exploring how the EU AI Act translates harmonized standards into real-world AI testing and certification.
Discover how the EU AI Act moves from regulatory text to technical implementation — and what this means for organisations developing and deploying AI systems.
Urban buildings awaken: Slovak AI gives a second chance to underused spaces4 Mar-Mestá sú živé organizmy, ktoré sa neustále menia. Mnohí z nás však v susedstve denne míňajú tiché svedectvá minulosti – prázdne školy, nevyužívané úrady či chátrajúce verejné budovy. Často si kladieme otázky: „Prečo je to zatvorené?“ „Nemohol by tu byť radšej denný stacionár, škôlka alebo kultúrne centrum?“
BeeGFS in Practice — Parallel File Systems for HPC, AI and Data-Intensive Workloads6 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 minutes5 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 Responsibility5 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.
Online lecture: AI Responsibility Gaps4 Feb-On 12 February 2026, we are organising the opening online lecture of the AI Accountability Dialogue Series, focusing on the timely topic of “responsibility gaps” in artificial intelligence systems. Our guest speakers will be Daniela Vacek and Jaroslav Kopčan.
CURRENT FFPLUS CALL12 Jan-European startups and small and medium-sized enterprises working with artificial intelligence, data, or computationally intensive models currently have the opportunity to take part in an attractive call aimed at supporting innovative research and development. The call targets companies that want to further advance their technological solutions, validate them in real-world conditions, and harness the potential of cutting-edge European supercomputing infrastructure.
