Meaningful Collaboration: The National Supercomputing Centre and TUKE Explore Common Ground
Lucia Malíčková, Project Coordinator at the National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC Slovakia) and the National Competence Centre for High-Performance Computing (NCC for HPC), met with Associate Professor Maroš Halama, PhD, from the Faculty of Materials, Metallurgy and Recycling at the Technical University of Košice. Their discussion focused on opportunities for closer collaboration in research, computational technologies, and support for young researchers.

The Technical University of Košice has long been among the leaders in the fields of materials research, metallurgy, and technological innovation. High-performance computing (HPC), provided by NSCC Slovakia, is a key tool for supporting research projects with demanding requirements for simulation, modeling, and data analysis. Connecting these two worlds—research and infrastructure—can open up new opportunities not only for scientists, but also for Slovak industry and education.
„We discussed specific ways to strengthen collaboration between universities and national institutions in the field of high-performance computing (HPC),“ said Lucia Malíčková. „The potential for joint projects, access to computing resources, and support for students in this field are areas where we see significant room for progress.“
The meeting represents a first step toward a long-term connection of infrastructure, expertise, and shared goals. Both parties aim not only to make use of available tools, but also to actively contribute to their development for the benefit of the scientific community and Slovakia’s innovative future.
HPC and MATLAB: A Strong Partnership for Accessible Supercomputing 19 Aug - Minulý týždeň sa uskutočnilo zaujímavé pracovné stretnutie, na ktorom sa Lucia Malíčková, zastrešujúca Národné superpočítačové centrum a Národné kompetenčné centrum pre HPC, stretla s Martinom Foltínom zo spoločnosti HUMUSOFT s.r.o., oficiálneho distribútora MathWorks. 
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.
