Successful Round Table: HPC/AI and Montenegrin S3

We have implemented a very successful round table event with panel discussions on HPC/AI and its relation to priorities identified in Montenegrin S3, namely agriculture and food production, health and tourism, and energy. We had panelists from Slovenia, Bosnia, Serbia and Montenegro. The event is organized by EuroCC NCC Monteengro in collaboration with NCC Slovenia. The agenda is available by clicking the following link.
