PSNC provides access to a world-class e-Infrastructure for the scientific community, a specific research and development environment – DIGITAL SCIENCE – for “proof of concept” projects, prototyping or large-scale pilot projects. Another branch of our activity is in DIGITAL INDUSTRY, which is focused on the creation of innovations based on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), i.e. the execution of specific implementations for various fields of science and industry. Equally important is our work in the context of SOCIAL INNOVATION to spread knowledge and awareness of contemporary technological opportunities among various social groups, as well as actively fighting against digital exclusion.
For over 30 years, we have been open to extensive cooperation both with research institutions to explore new areas of scientific challenges in joint projects and with industry partners – new entrants or large companies for which our competence and experience can become a strong asset to develop competitive innovation. Come and join us!
The European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC) has selected six new proposals, in addition to the previous seven, to establish AI Factories in the EU. Overall, the initiative will bring together twenty-one Member States and two associated EuroHPC Participating States.
"Development of an Innovative Tool to Support Diagnostics and Automatic Description of Radiological Images Using Artificial Intelligence Tools" is the full name of the project known simply as “Next Data AI”. The project is carried out by PSNC in cooperation with Centrum Zdrowia La Vie (La Vie Health Center) and its main goal is to conduct research and development work necessary to develop a tool that will support radiological diagnostics and automate the description of radiological examinations based on artificial intelligence mechanisms.

A Polish limited company nazwa.pl gave away their annual awards to companies and institutions with a significant influence on the digital transformation of the Polish State. The Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center was awarded in the category “Investment Expert”, which was a reflexion of PSNC’s success with the Center’s very own Proxima supercomputer – recognized as one of the fastest machines in the world according to the current prestigious TOP500 list.
8 000 participants and over 1 000 lectures – that is how we can sum up the FOSDEM meeting, which took place in Brussels on February 1st and 2nd. During this annual event for open-source software enthusiasts, its participants could share information about the latest initiatives, projects, technologies and applications. It was also a very good occasion to present the GN5-2 project, which was realized in cooperation with PSNC.
On 1 January 2025, Poland began its presidency of the Council of the European Union. One of our country’s responsibilities for the first half of this year will be ensuring open, professional and reliable communication. Its goal is to provide citizens, media and stakeholders with better access to information on the preparations and conduct of the Polish leadership of the Council. PSNC was chosen as one of the partners whose activities are related to the priorities of the Polish leadership.

Representatives of the Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center are going to provide participants with insights into how data spaces influence the future of certain economic sectors such as agriculture.
Towards the new opportunities – that is how one can sum up the meeting that concluded the EaPConnect2 project, summarizing the last decade in the development of NRENs in Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus.
At the end of 2024, GÉANT released a report identifying the key opportunities and challenges facing the NREN community (National Research and Education Network) in the coming decade. One of the authors of this document is Raimundas Tuminauskas – Head of the Network Infrastructure and Services Department at PSNC.
This year's Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry highlight the groundbreaking role of artificial intelligence in those fields. To get insights into this significant development, we reached out to Dr Mikołaj Buchwald – an expert from the PSNC Internet Services Department, whose research interests include cognitive neuroscience, machine learning methodology, as well as using AI plus advanced data analysis to explain human physiology and psychology.
Thanks to the Dariah.lab infrastructure, the first pilot projects for the preservation and dissemination of cultural heritage resources have been implemented in 2023. Dariah.lab is a research infrastructure for the humanities and arts, built as part of the DARIAH-PL project. It serves to acquire, store and integrate cultural data from the humanities and social sciences, and to process, visualise and share digital resources.
Here is a short sellection of recent articles on PSNC that have appeared in some international media.
