Researchers’ Night 2024 in Pictures

October 10th 2024 was the first official launch of EOSC EU NODE, a reference node for EOSC provided by the European Commission. The presentation was held for European Commission’s Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (DG RTD) and Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG CNECT) and EOSC Association.

The 25th edition of the International Agricultural Exhibition AGRO SHOW took place in Bednary near Poznań between 20 and 22 September 2024. One of the events during the exhibition was the presentation of the AgriFoodTEF project, which was created by the Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center, among others.

On 24 October 2024 Poznań, also known as the Capital of Wielkopolska region, will host the autumn meeting of SIG-MSP (Special Interest Group – Management of Service Portfolios) which operates under the auspices of the major European computer network GÉANT. Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center will be the co-host of this event, which is going to bring together members of National Research and Education Networks from all over Europe.

During this year's edition of Researcher's Night PSNC gave their guests access to the state-of-the-art technology in the shape of HPC's and a quantum machine. Aspiring researchers could also learn how to professionally record a podcast, act as a journalist in front of a TV camera or even try to handle the camera itself. There were robots, drones and fun galore – everything just to let all the visitors get as close as possible to the beauty of engineering in as many aspects as possible. One of the highlights of the evening was a cutting edge board game that lets you understand what actually is this quantum technology everybody's talking so much about.

Ewelina Moszyk from PSNC Future Labs was one of the speakers at the event, taking part in the panel discussion ‘Business value of Living labs acting for Zero Emissions and Pollution'.

On 12 September 2024 Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center and Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań signed an agreement launching the creation of the Consortium of Quantum Technologies. The consortium's main objectives include: quantum computing, machine learning and simulations. Both institutions are going to work together on improving competences and promoting quantum technologies, as well as benefits we gain from them.
