The Centre of Excellence – FoodHub and the Montenegrin National Center of Competence in the Field of High-Performance Computing – EuroCC have the opportunity to host this panel. The lecture will be held in Entrepreneurial Nest (Preduzetničko gnijezdo), on June 8, starting at 4 p.m.
Onur Mutlu is a professor of computer science in information technology and electrical engineering in Zurich, Switzerland, and at Carnegie Mellon University. He received his PhD and MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin and his BS in Computer Engineering and Psychology from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
His research is related to computer architecture, systems, security and bioinformatics. The work spans and spans the boundaries between applications, systems, languages, system software, compilers, and hardware and addresses many issues of high performance, energy efficiency, hardware security, fault tolerance, predictable systems, reliable systems, and hardware-software cooperation.

We had a pleasure to host one of the greateast minds of digital world, Vitalik Buterin (founder of Ethereum), and his fellow Zuzaluans, habitants of pop-up city in Montenegro.
World-leading innovators presented their ideas of Montenegro’s golden age, shared their ideas of Montenegro’s future reinforced by the most modern technologies and game-changing concepts. An amazing afternoon will have it’s second part in May! Stay tuned!
Vitalik Buterin with UDG studentsA fantastic lineup of speakers
Speakers shared their path, where they once were and how they got to where they are now. They shared their dreams and their vision for the future, and what brought them to Montenegro. At the same time, this workshop was a platform for UDG students to showcase their creativity, ideas and perspective, which are critical to shaping the future of any industry. Speakers at the event were Vitalik Buterin, Milojko Mickey Spajic, Tomiwa Ademidun, Gary Sheng, Veronica S. and Zoja Šćekić. The event was moderated by Nela Milošević.

A very successful two-day workshop for students and industry tool place on 22-23 April 2023. The workshop was done in the context of tge training project called “Competency Training for IoT and AI – InnovateYourFuture” supported by ANSO – Alliance of International Science Organizations, China. The organization is done in collaboration with EuroCC Montenegro and Montenegrin AI Association. Edge AI devices obtained with the support from NVIDIA Academic Grants. During the event, UDG also presented relevant projects currently implemented at UDG such as H2020 DEMETER, DEP EUROCC2, IPA HPC4S3ME. The agenda for the event is available here.
ANSO InnovateYourFuture Workshop on 22-23 April 2023Introduction to AI and MLML and Decision SupportData Science lectureIoT i agriculture and DEMETER projectML/AI in medicine
During the first day, attendees had a chance to interactively participate in lectures coverin Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and MAchine Learning, Data Science and Analytics. Lectures were given by Luka Filipovic, Marko Grebovic, Stevan Cakic, Ivan Jovovic, and Dejan Babic. During the second day, the focus was on practical training and hands on experience. Students worked with Stevan Cakic, Zoja Scekic, Ivan Jovovic, Dejan Babic, Igor Culafic, and Vesna Calasan. The hands on included work tools for dataset preparation, computer vision model training, edge AI devices and porting the prediction models to edge IoT. The students were split into groups and worked on solving practical problems in domains such as agri-food sector, health and medicine, and energy.
Around 40 people took part in the workshop
There was almost 40 people attending the event. We used the breaks for coffee and pizza to network, mingle and discuss interests and exchange experiences. It was also an excellent opportunity for young people interested in IoT and AI to network and get to know each other.

Within the two-day SmAgTech EXPO VIRAL event held at the University of Donja Gorica in the period from February 23 to 24, 2023 the results of the EuroCC project were presented with a special focus on the application of HPC and Ai/ML for computer vision in smart chicken farms.
Ms. Bojana Malisic presented the project to the visitors
The event gathered over 300 visitors from Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Slovenia, the Netherlands, including agricultural small and medium-sized enterprises, representatives of the IT sector, and academy. In addition to the aforementioned, the event was attended by students and high school pupils attending educational programs complementary to agriculture, information technology and food technology.
Mr Stevan Cakic presenting a HPC/AI use case in agriculture
Numerous companies in the field of agriculture, food industry, as well as information technologies and systems that presented their products and services at the fair, had the opportunity to learn about the EuroCC project and the advantages offered by advanced computing in the form of HPC technology.As part of the EXPO, the representatives of NCC Montenegro presented a pilot project-experiment within Horizon 2020 for innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, which is related to the application of HPC technologies in agriculture, specifically in poultry farming, where with the help of HPC technology, diseases among poultry are monitored and predicted by applying machine learning.
