Researchers’ Night is one of the most important events promoting science among children, adolescents, and adults. Even the pandemic did not prevent the organization of last year’s edition of the Poznan event. It will be the same this year. We invite everyone to a virtual meeting with science, scheduled for 24 September 2021.

In several supercomputing centers in Poland intensive installation works are conducted in the PRACE-LAB project, while in five HPC (pol. KDM) and MAN centers the infrastructure is ready and implemented operationally. The national HPC and data infrastructure will be the largest IT resource in Poland so far, connected via the ultra-fast PIONIER network and providing services to all Polish universities, institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences and National Research Institutes.

Applications for admission to the state kindergartens and primary schools in Poznan can now be submitted. Recruitment to the various institutions is carried out only in the on-line version using the “Nabor” system, created and operated by PSNC.

Change2Twin opens its 1st Open Call to select European manufacturing SMEs and mid-caps that want to take a step forward to digitisation thanks to a digitaltwin. The project is offering up to 25 Assessment Vouchers for SMEs to contract a certified DIH of their choice.

We invite you to watch the second episode of the series “Pozcast – let’s talk about Poznan”. Piotr Szulc’s guest was the Director of PSNC – Cezary Mazurek, Ph.D.

On January 15, the second stage of Open Call in the Federation For Fire Plus project was launched. Only completed experiments from the Stage 1 are eligible to participate in this competition. Applications will be accepted until April 13, 2021.

The next version of the SSH Open Marketplace website has been launched. At this stage, the project, for which the graphic design and implementation of backend services is the responsibility of the PSNC Digital Libraries Department, received a positive opinion.

The activities in the eDWIN project (Internet Platform for Consulting and Decision Support in Integrated Plant Protection) have already passed the halfway point, involving IT and agriculture specialists. On this occasion, we recall the context of the project and its planned results.

The SESAR JU project “GOF 2.0 Integrated Urban Airspace Validation”, with a consortium of 13 members, including PSNC, will focus on the safe, secure, and sustainable integration of unmanned aerial vehicle operations in urban airspace and kicked-off at the end of January.

As part of the work carried out by PSNC in the NLPQT project, the laboratory was equipped with a system for advanced modeling and simulation of GNSS signals/systems. The environment will allow for to study various scenarios of the GNSS signals application, in particular its integration with other systems – autonomous vehicles, sensors, etc.

Thanks to the service prepared in cooperation between the Digitisation and Cybersecurity Bureau, the Plenipotentiary of the Mayor of Poznan for Smart City and PSNC, passengers of public transport in the Poznan agglomeration will receive information about the exact time of arrival of a bus or tram. The implementation of the GTFS Realtime system is the next step in the digital transformation of the capital of Wielkopolska region.

As part of the activities carried out in the NLPQT project, PSNC equipped its laboratories with advanced sets of measurement and transmission devices. The equipment was purchased to build a quantum key distribution network. It is a practical application of quantum communication technology to set up encrypted connections secured by the laws of quantum mechanics.
