From 25 to 28 February, in Žabljak, within the framework of the traditional IT Conference – one of the most significant scientific and professional conferences in the field of engineering and information sciences, held with IEEE support (triple IEEE concept in engineering) – the EUROCC4SEE Conference will be organized, with both in-person and online participation of partners.
The conference will gather members of the EUROCC4SEE team, representatives of National Competence Centres (NCCs), as well as representatives of companies, the business community, and the public sector from the region and beyond. According to current registrations, more than 200 participants are expected, confirming the strong regional and international character of the event.
As part of the conference, a training session and workshop will be organized in line with the strategic tourism development priorities of all EUROCC4SEE countries, entitled:
“Application of HPC and AI to Enhance the Tourism Offer”, aiming to present the possibilities of applying High Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence in improving tourism services, data analytics, and the development of innovative digital solutions.
The conference program will also include presentations of research papers, proof-of-concept projects, and HPC success stories demonstrating the practical application of HPC infrastructure in science, industry, and the development of new technologies.
Special focus will be placed on two central panels:
- Application of HPC in Science and Industry – Real Examples and Success Stories, bringing together representatives of academia, industry, and the public sector to exchange experiences and present concrete examples of HPC solution implementation;
- Regional Cooperation and EuroCC Experience – EUROCC4SEE: What Have We Learned and Where Do We Go Next? Lessons Learned and Regional Experiences, focused on analyzing project results achieved so far, sharing regional experiences, and defining future directions for the development of the HPC ecosystem in Southeast Europe.
In order to strengthen cooperation with industry and institutions, B2B Meetings and Collaborative Initiatives Toward EUROCC3 will also be organized, enabling direct meetings with business partners, public sector representatives, and potential HPC resource users.
The EUROCC4SEE conference represents an important platform for knowledge exchange, enhancement of regional cooperation, and strengthening the application of HPC technologies in science, industry, and public policies, confirming the strategic importance of digital infrastructure and innovation ecosystem development in the region.
