EuroCC NCC Montenegro – National Center of Competence in the field of high performance computing (HPC) at UDG through the EuroCC project continues with activities and organisation of a set of events and programs for all Montenegrin institutions but also individuals interested in learning more about using advanced HPC technology to improve business and competitiveness. In accordance with the NCC Montenegro Roadmap and planned activities, EuroCC NCC Montenegro will implement two sets of events in December 2021, a training program that includes specialized training for Montenegrin institutions called High Performance Computing and Digitization and a national conference on Industry 4.0 and Cyber Security issues in Montenegro.
EuroCC Montenegro participates in series of training events in December
After the first phase of activities in which the needs, problems and weaknesses of the Montenegrin economy in the possibility of applying HPC for digitalization of business processes were analyzed, a training program in the field of HPC was created for their needs, which will be implemented in December 2021 and 2022. The first specialized training for Montenegrin institutions, called High Performance Computing and Digitization, will be organized online, on December 8th, 2021. in cooperation with a partner institution, ARCTUR, while the second set of programs will be organized during 2022. Within the set of programs, support is also planned for improving the capacity of students to realize business ideas and start startups in the field of HPC.In addition to the mentioned set of trainings, NCC Montenegro will organize a national conference on Industry 4.0 and Cyber Security issues in Montenengro, where reference solutions on the possibility of applying HPC in the process of digitalization of business processes will be presented. The conference will be realized by UDG and in cooperation with the Chamber of Economy of Montenegro. The national conference will be held on December 15th, 2021 and will provide an opportunity to network and establish cooperation with NCC Montenegro – UDG, the national coordinator in all areas related to HPC at the national level with other academic institutions, industry and public administration.
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.

“Open Mind – Learn to play” Training Event for High School Students in Montenegro
In the context of EuroCC project, HPC NCC Montenegro at the University of Donja Gorica is organizing a training event called “Open Mind – Learn to play” designated for high school students in Montenegro.
The training is planned for High School students who want to gain practical experience in some of the popular areas such as internet of things, 3D technologies (3d printing), digital transformation, programming, drones etc. Participants are expected to work on exciting projects, based on the latest trends and technologies (using of IoT, 3D technologies, Python, Analysing Social Media Trends), and the acquired knowledge will enable them to more easily build their future in one of the areas they choose with this program.
In the context of EuroCC project NCC Montenegro and Capacity building activities – Roadmap towards the successful Implementation, selected candidates will have the opportunity to participate in training led by professionals in the given fields, and then to test the extent to which they can apply the acquired knowledge to solve specific problems within individual work or group projects. Within these training events, students will work on the latest technologies, while at the same time they will get to know modern trends from various fields, solving current challenges, practicing teamwork, learning how to think outside of the box.
Some of the themes include Analysing Social Media Trends – participants of this program will gain the opportunity to work in one of the most popular areas of artificial intelligence (AI) called Natural Language Processing (NLP), which aims to analyse text (social networks, news, books, etc.) and make decisions from them. Also, IoT workshop – ThingSpeak, Python GUI Programming, OpenCV workshop any many others.
Training will be organized during March 2021 at the University of Donja Gorica.
