New H2020 project: AIMHiGH project Kick-off meeting took place at the University of Donja Gorica on 26 June 2021. The title of the project is AI/ML Enabled by HPC for Edge Camera Devices for the Next Generation Hen Farms and it is funded as an application experiment within Horizon 2020 FF4EuroHPC project. The AIMHiGH project proposes the use of HPC and deep learning AI to create prediction models that can be deployed on the edge devices equipped with camera sensors for the use in IoT/AI solutions in the poultry sector. UDG will be providing HPC and domain expertise through NCC Montenegro and FoodHub Centre of Excellence.
Kick-off Meeting on 26.06.2021 at UDGNCC Montenegro will take active role to support the implementationAIMHiGH partners joined in UDG premises on 26.06.2021.

2nd EuroCC and Castiel Join Conference
At the conference, during first day it was yet again strongly emphasized the importance of collaboration between the EuroCC partner countries within the development of AI, HPDA and HPC technologies in the EU within CASTIEL WP2 Competence Mapping and Networking and CASTIEL Training, Twinning, Mentoring (WP3). To boost the competitiveness of European industry and public sector the knowledge-transfer between academia and industry/public sector should be one of the primary goals of EuroCC national competence centers. This should be done through training and experience exchange. During conference, the EuroHPC JU representative presented update on EuroHPC.
During the second day CASTIEL Industrial Interaction and Business Development (WP4) as well CASTIEL Awareness Creation, the EuroCC Access and Outreach (WP5) main activities were presented. Also, during second day FF4EuroHPC Open Call 2 were presented and discussed.

NCC Montenegro has successfully completed the realization of training Analyzing Social Media Trends and Python Video Game Programming within the Open Mind Academy for high school students at University of Donja Gorica UDG. The training were organized within work activities 34.2 Training and Skills development and were held in the period of 20th of April till 17th of May. The first set of training was held online and the second set of training was held in the University’s building, organized as a two-day event. There were around 30 participants from various high schools throughout Montenegro. Within the Open Mind Academy at the University of Donja Gorica training called ANALYZING SOCIAL MEDIA TRENDS in the field of Data Science and PYTHON VIDEO GAME PROGRAMMING were held. The training aimed at animating young people to get familiarized with modern technologies and acquire basic knowledge for enrollment in AI. The candidates had the opportunity to listen to and work with colleagues from the NCC Montenegro research team: Armin Alibašić PhD, Stevan Šandi MA, Stevan Čakić MA and Bojana Mališić MA. The training within the Open Mind Academy were intended for high school students who wished to gain practical experience in one of the very current areas using modern technologies such as 3D printing, design, programming, drones, AI and others, all in collaboration with lecturers from UDG. The knowledge acquired will enable participants to more easily build their future in one of the areas they choose with this program.
