The meeting served as a mentoring and twinning platform to exchange lessons learned and best practices in industry onboarding, academic alignment, and public sector engagement. It also contributed to the planning of joint initiatives and regional efforts to promote/accelerate the adoption of HPC technologies.

From the meeting related to planning the next cooperation steps

Key outcomes of the meeting:

  • Exchange of experience and practices – NCC Montenegro and NCC BiH shared their respective approaches to HPC promotion and user engagement, including: Examples of collaborative projects across academia, industry, and the public sector; Use cases and success stories in sectors such as healthcare, energy, agri-tech, fintech, and weather forecasting; Practical strategies for onboarding companies through direct communication and proactive engagement, including HPC4SME push The promotion and use of national sandbox infrastructures and advanced EuroHPC resources to support research institutions and innovative enterprises in developing and testing advanced computational solutions and business ideas.
  • Support for the CMBEBIH 2025 Conference (September 11–13, Sarajevo) NCC Montenegro confirmed its support for the upcoming CMBEBIH 2025 conference related to several activities, including: contribution to the Call for paper submissions, (HPC applications in medicine), Hackathon activities (HPC-supported use cases) and HPC panel discussion/expert session featuring both regional and international experts.
  • Joint training events and regional outreach – plans were discussed for organizing joint HPC training sessions for industry. These events may be held: in conjunction with the CMBEBIH 2025 conference in Sarajevo (September 2025); as part of the IEEE IT conference in Žabljak (February 2026), or in planned HPC roadshow to be held across five cities in BiH.
The discussion concluded with a detailed action plan for the upcoming period

The visit concluded on a highly positive note, reaffirming the mutual commitment to deepen the regional cooperation, accelerate knowledge transfer, promote HPC as a strategic enabler for innovations in Southeast Europe and amplify NCCs visibility across EuroCC2 network.

Presentation by prof. dr Lejla Gurbeta-Pokvic

Representatives from both NCC teams also participated in the POLICY ANSWERS Workshop on Technology-Oriented Research Infrastructures: Opportunities for the Western Balkans where NCC Bosnia and Herzegovina gave a presentation that featured EuroCC2 & EuroCC4SEE projects and NCC activities.

EuroCC4SEE Seminar Series – 5 Beats of Intelligence: AI Meets Diverse Domains

As part of the EuroCC4SEE project, five countries – Türkiye, Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina – have joined forces to present an engaging online seminar series titled: “5 Beats of Intelligence: AI Meets Diverse Domains”.

Tjis is a joint effort from NCCs from the EuroCC4SEE

In this series, each country will host a dedicated session exploring how Artificial Intelligence (AI) intersects with a different scientific or industrial domain. The seminars are designed to share knowledge, inspire collaboration, and engage both academic and applied research communities in the EuroHPC ecosystem.

📅 The series runs from 20 May to 22 July 2025, with a new seminar approximately every two weeks. All seminars will be hosted online via Zoom. More details on schedule and registrations can be accessed at NCC Turkiye website at the foillowing link.

Mr Dejan Babic will give the first presentation proviedd by NCC Montenegro
Mr Ivan Jovovic will give the second presentation from NCC Montenegro

PAID Montenegro: Successful second application for EuroHPC HPC resources

PAID Montenegro has achieved success in the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking Development Call, marking a significant milestone in its efforts to strengthen its capacities in high-performance computing (HPC).

The initiative successfully completed the first round of the development call, demonstrating strong technical potential and relevance to the EuroHPC objectives. Following this achievement, PAID Montenegro submitted a second application, which was once again approved. As a result, the team has secured access to one of Europe’s most powerful supercomputing infrastructures — LUMI, the pan-European pre-exascale supercomputer. PAID Montenegro was granted 4,000 node hours on LUMI-C (CPU partition) and 4,500 node hours on LUMI-G (GPU partition), providing substantial computational power for advanced simulations, data processing, and AI research.

More information about their project is available at the https://eurocc.udg.edu.me/paid-t-advanced-trading-simulations-powered-by-hpc/.

Exploring HPC-Driven AI Solutions with Damar Institute

Representatives of NCC Montenegro met with Vuk Cadjenovic and Milos Borozan from Damar, a pioneering Montenegrin research institute established in 1993 that specialises in social research, public opinion polling, and data analysis. Over the years, Damar evolved into a comprehensive scientific and research institute, expanding its expertise to encompass a diverse range of qualitative, quantitative, and computational methodologies.

During the initial meeting held on April 15, 2025, and the follow-up on May 9, 2025, discussions focused on the potential integration of HPC resources into Damar’s operations. The goal is to leverage Damar’s extensive, multi-year data pool on public opinion and social issues to enhance its analytical capabilities through advanced predictive and prescriptive AI models.

The application of HPC would enable more precise modelling of complex social phenomena, improved data visualization, and real-time data processing—significantly increasing the relevance, depth, and impact of research outputs. The meetings also addressed opportunities for joint participation in research and innovation projects aimed at developing data-driven, AI-solutions for the public and private sectors.

Visit from HRUPTY: Exploring HPC Applications in AR/VR Innovation

On May 2025, NCC Montenegro and the University of Donja Gorica welcomed Igor Mitrić, founder and CEO of the Montenegrin startup HRUPTY, for an initial consultation on potential collaborations in the field of high-performance computing (HPC). HRUPTY is recognized as an innovation-driven company registered under the Ministry of Science and Innovation and is focused on developing cutting-edge AR/VR tools for a wide range of industries including real estate, tourism, art, education, and industrial training.

Innovative Startup Hrupty visited NCC Montenegro for initial consultations

During the meeting, Mr. Mitrić presented the company’s suite of digital 3D products—such as VirtuSale, VirtuTrainPro, and VirtuEdu—that are already being deployed in global projects with partners from Europe, North America, and Asia. These platforms combine immersive virtual experiences with artificial intelligence to revolutionize how users interact with real-world scenarios in virtual environments.

We went over the Hrupty roadmap and also provided support for the HPC4SME self assessment process

The discussion with NCC Montenegro representatives—Dejan Babić, Ivan Jovović, and Tomo Popović—focused on identifying where HPC resources could support HRUPTY’s innovation roadmap, especially in areas requiring large-scale rendering, simulation, and AI model training. As part of the session, HRUPTY also completed the HPC4SME self-assessment to better understand its HPC readiness and potential for adopting advanced computing technologies. This visit marks the beginning of what we hope will become a fruitful collaboration between the startup and the national HPC competence center.
