Target Picture of NCC Montenegro
Education and Trainings
- Creating a new generation of HPC+ experts with academic references and professional credentials, to serve HP/AI needs of industry, academia and public sector, through academic programs, study courses and professional trainings.
Research and Innovation
- Enabling HPC/HPDA/AI research agenda, supporting innovations and interactions between science, private and public sector.
- Acting as a knowledge & hub, repository of competencies and resource pool for multidisciplinary HPC/AI research.
Commercialisation
- Providing services, activities and access related to HPC computational resources, SW codes, simulations’ algorithms, application experiments, PoCs, as well as project consultancy, business development and user support.
HPC/HPDA/AI Skills Developent
Initial Steps
- HPC/AI-related seasonal schools to motivate and mobilize high-school students and young high-tech enthusiasts to get interested and enrol in HPC/AI-related academic programs.
- BSc, MSc and PhD programs and courses to (re)produce HPC/AI specialized and future-proof labour force.
- Professional training courses for industry participants/practitioners to provide HPC/AI know-how, supercomputing hands-on experience and LLL for HPC/AI carrier development.
- Training events & workshops addressing different types of high-tech events, HPC/AI domains, maturity levels and user groups.
Further Development with Comprehensive Approach:
- Raising awareness of national training portfolio;
- Pursuing cross-NCCs training collaboration;
- Addressing gaps in training needs,
- Associating trainings with key conferences and networking events
Interaction with industry
SMEs/industry interaction follows the funnelling approach from wide industry outreach and HPC’s benefits related mass communication, over business communities’ engagement, to targeted 1-2-1 meetings with HPC-prospective companies.
Academia and Public Administration
Interaction with academia:
- Further development and introduction of HPC/HPDA/AI-related courses and disciplines in study programs (BSc, MSc and PhD level)
- Promoting HPC+ for academic excellence, applied research, and collaborative projects
- Attracting researchers and experts, facilitating the acquisition of HPC+ knowledge and skills, to support multiple domains in the scientific use of HPC/AI resources and enable research-facilitated innovations and technology transfers.
Interaction with the public sector – Mapping supercomputing opportunities related to key public projects, Governmental and Digital agenda.
- Alignment approach – activities related to digital transformation and modernization of the public sector with focus on e-services and agile solutions.
- Proactive approach in supporting proven HPC/HPDA/AI solutions for public sectors (i.e. smart cities, critical infrastructure protection, cybersecurity, crisis management, urgent computing)
- Productive relations with key stakeholders, public authorities and institutions.
