AIMHiGH project presenation at NCC Cyprus Industry Day event

The Computation-based Science and Technology Research Center (CaSToRC) of The Cyprus Institute hosted a landmark “Industry Day” on Tuesday, January 16, 2024, organized within the framework of the EUROCC2 project.

During the Industry Day event , a representative from DigitalSmart Stevan Čakić from Montenegro presented the AIMHiGH project in a segment titled “Another success story from a past collaboration between industry and research.” The focus of the presentation was on how the project integrates high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) into poultry farming, creating innovative solutions for the agricultural sector. The collaboration, part of the H2020 initiative and the FF4EuroHPC application experiments, was highlighted as a prime example of successful partnership between industry and academia, driving forward technological advancement in agriculture. This concise presentation underscored the significance of collaborative efforts in bringing about cutting-edge innovations in traditional sectors.

Successful twinning: Quantum computing lecture Successful Twinning:

On the 20th of October 2023, Dr. Jaka Vodeb gave a lecture on the topic of quantum computing to the students of the University of Donja Gorica (UDG) and NCC Montenegro academic and industry partners.

Twinning between NCC germany and NCC Montenegro – Lecture on Quantum Computing

During the lecture, Dr. Vodeb addressed several key aspects of quantum computing, including its historical development, early stages, and the motivating factors behind its advancement. Additionally, he provided insights into the current state of quantum hardware and various quantum algorithms. At the end, he presented success stories where quantum computing demonstrated superior performance compared to conventional computing methods. Quantum computing lecture was organized as a fruitful collaboration between NCC Germany and NCC Montenegro. There was around 70 attendees at the lecture.
