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

EuroCC4SEE Workshop in Belgrade

Successful Realization of Short Course: From PC to HPC

The one-day short course “From Personal Computing to HPC”, held on April 29, 2025, successfully brought together around 20 participants from academia, industry, and public institutions. The course offered a practical introduction to the evolution from everyday computing environments to high-performance computing (HPC), with a focus on real-world applications and national infrastructure.

There was around 20 attendees, mainly students from the second year of Information Systems and Electrical Engineering

Lecturers Dejan Babić and Elvis Taruh guided attendees through key concepts, showcasing how HPC resources can be leveraged for data-intensive tasks and advanced simulations. Through interactive discussions and live demonstrations, participants gained insights into the capabilities of Montenegro’s EuroCC infrastructure and how to access and utilize HPC resources for their own research or professional needs. The course sparked meaningful exchanges and interest in further training, highlighting the growing demand for computational skills in diverse fields.

Mr. Elvis Taruh gave introduction to UDG clkuster and his experiences with moving experiments to HPC environment
Mr Dejan Babic gave presentation on the use of UDG cluster for solving his research use case (AI in medicine)

One-Day Short Course: From Personal Computing to HPC – April 29, 2025

We are excited to announce a one-day short course titled “From Personal Computing to HPC”, taking place on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, starting at 13:30 at the University of Donja Gorica. This is primarily for the students, but others are welcome, too.

Organized within the EuroCC2 project framework, this intensive training session is designed to introduce participants to the fundamentals of High Performance Computing (HPC) and how it differs from standard personal computing. Whether you’re a student, researcher, or tech enthusiast, this course will help you understand:

  • The evolution from personal computers to HPC systems
  • Core components of HPC architectures
  • The role of HPC in science, industry, and innovation
  • How to get started using HPC resources
This is the second time this year. We are now focused on students (MSc and BSc), but others are welcome, too.

Please note

Participation is free of charge, but registration is required. Don’t miss this opportunity to boost your computational skills and explore the world of HPC!

Empowering Business through HPC and AI

On April 16, 2025, the UDG hosted a HPC/AI workshop designed for business users and non-technical audience. The workshop provided a concise introduction to HPC and AI technologies emphasizing their growing relevance for accelerating digital transformation, advancing research & development, and strengthening industry competitiveness. Participants gained valuable insights into how supercomputing technologies can be leveraged to accelerate production development and innovation cycles, optimize business operations and decision-making processes.

 Key highlights of the workshop included:

  • A clear and practical overview of  both commercial and technical aspects of HPC systems
  • Real-world use cases showcasing the HPC/AI impact and benefits across industries
  • Guidance to access Europe’s top-tier supercomputing infrastructure

The session is concluded with optional one-on-one consultations, allowing attendees to explore how advanced technologies like HPC and AI could be integrated into their specific business strategies and innovation ideas.

Successful Launch of the “Web Programming with Python Flask and HPC-enabled ML” Course at UDG

On April 17, 2025, the University of Donja Gorica successfully hosted the first part of the two-day course “Web Programming with Python Flask and HPC-enabled ML”, organized under the EuroCC Montenegro project. The event attracted over 70 enthusiastic students from various faculties, eager to deepen their knowledge in modern web development and the integration of High-Performance Computing (HPC) with machine learning. The first session focused on the fundamentals of web development using Python Flask, introducing participants to key concepts, tools, and techniques needed to build scalable and interactive web applications.
