Lucia Mal\u00ed\u010dkov\u00e1, PhD., Project Coordinator at the NSCC, who provided participants with an in-depth overview of how high-performance computing (HPC) can significantly support the development of new materials, optimize manufacturing processes, and reduce production errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main goal of our participation was to highlight that HPC is no longer solely a tool for the academic sphere but is becoming increasingly accessible to industrial enterprises. When combined with advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence tools, HPC can also support the automation of production lines and the creation of digital twins\u2014virtual models of manufacturing processes that enable more efficient management and planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Slovak Plastics Cluster is one of the most active platforms for collaboration between companies, research organizations, and public authorities in the fields of plastics, composites, rubber, and rubber-processing technologies. We value the opportunity to be part of this community and to contribute innovative solutions powered by cutting-edge computational infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our presentation sparked a lively discussion among the cluster\u2019s members and guests. Interest in the practical application of HPC technologies in business practice is growing, and at NSCC, we are ready to help companies navigate the possibilities of using these tools effectively\u2014from free consultations and pilot projects to long-term support for digitalization initiatives and new product development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe that events like these help build bridges between the scientific community and industry. High-performance computing can be a powerful driver of competitiveness for Slovak manufacturers\u2014and at the National Supercomputing Centre, we are ready to be their technological partner on this journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We would like to thank the Slovak Plastics Cluster for the invitation and the inspiring event. We look forward to future joint activities and collaboration on projects that support innovative and sustainable solutions in industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-5 wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/074a9651-1744360438pLGYY.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"783\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/074a9651-1744360438pLGYY.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/074a9651-1744360438pLGYY.jpg 783w, https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/074a9651-1744360438pLGYY-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/074a9651-1744360438pLGYY-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/074a9651-1744360438pLGYY-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 783px) 100vw, 783px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/074a9594-1744360436j3J2z.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"783\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/074a9594-1744360436j3J2z.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/074a9594-1744360436j3J2z.jpg 783w, https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/074a9594-1744360436j3J2z-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/074a9594-1744360436j3J2z-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/074a9594-1744360436j3J2z-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 783px) 100vw, 783px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/074a9655-174436043936xel.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"783\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/074a9655-174436043936xel.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10165\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/074a9655-174436043936xel.jpg 783w, https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/074a9655-174436043936xel-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/074a9655-174436043936xel-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/074a9655-174436043936xel-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 783px) 100vw, 783px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/074A9634-jpg-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1022\" height=\"646\" src=\"https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/074A9634-jpg-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/074A9634-jpg-1.jpg 1022w, https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/074A9634-jpg-1-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/074A9634-jpg-1-768x485.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eurocc.nscc.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/074A9634-jpg-1-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1022px) 100vw, 1022px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-group alignfull call-bot\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<div class=\"is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-7 wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/calls-for-proposals\/\">BACK<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>D\u0148a 10. apr\u00edla 2025 sa v Nitre uskuto\u010dnilo Valn\u00e9 zhroma\u017edenie Slovensk\u00e9ho plastik\u00e1rskeho klastra (SPK), ktor\u00e9 bolo z\u00e1rove\u0148 oslavou 16. v\u00fdro\u010dia jeho zalo\u017eenia.
