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

HPC Serbia is organizing a face-to-face regional EuroCC4SEE Workshop in Belgrade from 20 to 22 May 2025. The workshop will commence around noon on 20 May and conclude by noon on May 22. During the first half-day, we will hold sessions tailored for researchers. The second half-day will focus on SMEs, while the afternoon of the second day will feature presentations on the use of HPC in public administration. On the third day, we will showcase examples of HPC applications in the region. NCC Montenegro team members will participate in the event and give presentation on 22 May. You can learn more about the event at the following link: https://indico.ipb.ac.rs/event/590/

You can register at: https://indico.ipb.ac.rs/event/590/registrations

In total, we will conduct four half-day sessions focused on:

  • The use of HPC, HPDA and AI in Academia,
  • The use of HPC, HPDA and AI in SMEs,
  • The use of HPC, HPDA and AI in Public Administration,
  • Best Practices from the Region.

HPC Montenegro @ STP: Connecting with Innovative Companies and the Startup Ecosystem during Open Day

On April 3, 2025, representatives of HPC NCC Montenegro attended the Open Day hosted by the Science and Technology Park (STP) of Montenegro, seizing the opportunity to connect with innovative companies, startups, and entrepreneurs with the potential to leverage HPC for AI-driven projects.

Paid MNE

Among the STP residents who participated in the event and presented their ideas were ONEAI, Artificial Intelligence Software Solutions, Azoteq, G Consulting, the Institute of Contemporary Technologies of Montenegro, Logik Montenegro, Modrone, Montezuma, Uhura, Paid.mne, Ninamedia Clipping, Sjever.me, the Center for Finance, and Web Falcon.

One AI

It was inspiring to hear testimonials from Uhura, Paid.mne, and ONEAI, who already benefit from access to leading EuroHPC supercomputers, including LUMI and LEONARDO. These success stories are the result of fruitful collaboration with NCC Montenegro and the support received through Development Calls.

Uhura

In this vibrant setting, HPC NCC Montenegro representatives engaged with prospective companies and innovative teams to raise awareness of the Montenegrin NCC and European HPC resources, explore potential collaborations and training opportunities, and support access to advanced computing infrastructure for research, development, and innovation.

The NTP Open Day proved to be a dynamic platform for identifying HPC/AI potential, strengthening partnerships, and accelerating digital innovation in Montenegro [link].

Meeting and Initial Consultations with BIXBIT

On March 27, 2025, representatives from BIXBIT, a Montenegrin IT company specializing in software development, AI applications, and outsourcing, met with the NCC Montenegro team to explore opportunities for collaboration and access to high-performance computing (HPC) resources. We were welcomed at BIXBIT by Stevan Šandi, Andrea Krivokapić and Luka Krsmanović. The NCC Montenegro team – Božo Krstajić, Tomo Popović and Enis Kočan—presented the mission, services, and ongoing activities of the NCC, highlighting how local companies can benefit from the support provided through the EuroHPC ecosystem.

We introduced the EUROCC2/EUROCC4SEE project activities and services

The discussion focused on potential use cases where BIXBIT could leverage HPC infrastructure, particularly for AI and generative AI applications, such as computer vision, chatbots, and other machine learning-based solutions. The NCC team presented available EuroHPC calls, including the FFPLUS Open Call, and explained the process of applying for computational resources. Several success stories from both Montenegro and the EU were shared to illustrate the impact and value of HPC-driven innovation.

We went over the options for applying for EuroHPC HPC resources

Beyond technical collaboration, the two teams discussed possibilities for co-mentoring students, organizing joint training activities, and hosting events to promote digital transformation and AI adoption in Montenegro. A follow-up consultation is planned, with a focus on helping BIXBIT prepare a concrete application for HPC access, potentially starting with a proof-of-concept project. This marks another important step in strengthening the link between industry and research through NCC Montenegro’s support.

We also discussed options for FFPlus calls, POC support, use cases with potential for success

Workshop: Artificial Intelligence and Media Literacy

The University of Donja Gorica, in cooperation with EU House and Young European Ambassadors, is organizing a workshop and panel discussion on the topic “Artificial Intelligence and Media Literacy”. The event will be moderated by Igor Culafić, assistant at the UDG, master student in the “Artificial Intelligence” program and Young European Ambassador.

Workshop: Artificial Intelligence and Media Literacy

The workshop will demonstrate practical examples of using AI and HPC tools for creative and productive purposes, the presence of disinformation on the internet, how AI affects disinformation and how to recognize it. The presentation will take place on March 27 at 9:45 am, in the amphitheather A4 the University of Donja Gorica.

We invite students and all interested parties to attend this event and take the opportunity to develop practical skills in a critical approach to AI/HPC tools and become active participants in creating an ethical framework for the use of new technologies!
