The projects shown in the photos were implemented between 2016 and 2023 as a result of calls conducted by the Information Processing Centre – PIB. The funded initiatives represent a variety of scientific fields – from computer science, medicine, genomics, geology, archaeology, environmental protection and social sciences and humanities. In total, Polish research units and universities received as much as PLN 2.5 billion to build laboratories and purchase equipment that is innovative on a European and global scale. The photos also include projects implemented by PSNC. The photos include:
- Digital research infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities – Dariah.lab,
- ECBiG – European Centre for Bioinformatics and Genomics – MOSAIC,
- National Laboratory for Advanced 5G Research,
- National Data Storage (NDS) – Universal infrastructure for sharing, storage and effictive processing of large data volumes in HPC, Big Data and Artificial Intelligence models,
