Community CoE for Exascale Plasma Simulations
Community Centre of Excellence that will build a unified European community for computational plasma physics and deliver exascale-ready applications in three grand-challenge areas: magnetic-confinement fusion, laser-plasma and target physics, and space plasmas and space weather. Flagship European plasma codes will be brought to efficient, portable and energy-aware use on EuroHPC exascale systems and AI Factories, combining performance engineering, accelerator porting and FAIR data practices with multi-model coupling, mixed and low precision, compression, AI-based surrogates and selected quantum-inspired methods. Its programmes are coordinated with EUROfusion, EuPRAXIA and major laser facilities, and ESA missions. Successor to Plasma-PEPSC (2023–2026).
AMU Nature Collections, second edition
Biodiversity is degrading in the Anthropocene at a scale comparable to the effects of global warming, and protecting it requires management based on knowledge of living organisms, much of which is held in natural history collections. AMUNATCOLL 2.0 continues AMUNATCOLL (2018–2021) to make the biodiversity data of the Faculty of Biology, AMU available for science, education, health and environmental protection. It will digitise new collections using modern microscopy methods, implement IT solutions for an extended metadata model, spatial analysis and AI-supported open access, expand the IT infrastructure to speed up digitisation, and train staff in digitisation and digital accessibility. The result will be a thoroughly modernised AMUNATCOLL 2.0 system for stakeholder groups representing 53,000 organisations in Poland and users worldwide, publishing its data on a WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA-compliant platform and through GBIF.
HPC and Big Data Technologies for Global Challenges
Successor to the HiDALGO Centre of Excellence, coordinated by PSNC (ICHB PAN) with me as project coordinator: a 9-partner consortium across 7 European countries, more than 60 researchers and a total budget of €6.0 M (EU contribution €3.0 M), developing scalable HPC, HPDA and AI workflows for environmental challenges - urban air quality, building energy, renewable energy, wildfire propagation and water-borne material transport. Targets pre-exascale systems; co-funded by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking.
Multimodal Extreme Scale Data Analytics for Smart Cities Environments
Smart-cities consortium of 17 partners across 12 countries combining AI, multimodal audio-visual analytics and an Edge–Fog–Cloud computing continuum to enable real-time, data-driven decisions in modern cities - public safety, traffic management and quality-of-life monitoring.
HPC and Big Data Technologies for Global Challenges
Original Centre of Excellence in Global Systems Science. Applied HPC and Big Data technologies to three pilot challenges: misinformation spread on social networks, evolution of urban air pollution and refugee/migration dynamics. Direct predecessor of HiDALGO2.
AMU Nature Collections
Polish Cyfrowa Polska (POPC) programme grant digitising the natural-history collections of the Faculty of Biology, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. Delivered a public web portal of 2 million+ specimen records spanning 200 years of botanical and zoological holdings, built to ABCD and Darwin Core standards with a mobile field application and GBIF integration.
e-Infrastructure Reflection Group Support Programme 5
Horizon 2020 support action for the e-Infrastructure Reflection Group (e-IRG) - the body advising on European research-infrastructure policy. The 8-partner consortium ran the e-IRG secretariat, prepared policy white papers and managed working groups and stakeholder liaison. Coordinated by Leibniz Universität Hannover (Germany); total budget €0.99M.
Centre of Excellence for Global Systems Science
Horizon 2020 Centre of Excellence (€4.47M, 12 partners) building an HPC framework for generating synthetic populations and running real-time risk assessments on global coordination problems - financial markets, energy systems and the internet. Coordinated by Universität Potsdam (Germany).
Deployment of Remote Instrumentation Infrastructure
FP7 Capacities infrastructure project (€3.6M, 12 partners) deploying an e-infrastructure that integrates experimental equipment and sensor networks for scientific communities lacking adequate ICT integration - earthquake monitoring, environmental science, synchrotron radiation and free-electron-laser research. Coordinated by the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Poznań.
Remote Instrumentation in Next-Generation Grids
FP6 Specific Support Action (€1M, 10 partners) that designed the technical and conceptual foundations for remote access to scientific and industrial instruments over next-generation grids - location-independent operation of distant equipment. Coordinated by the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Poznań.
A Production Astronomy e-VLBI Infrastructure
FP6 €4M production-grade e-VLBI infrastructure linking the world's major radio telescopes in real time over high-speed research networks, producing high-resolution cosmic images and enabling rapid follow-up of transient astronomical phenomena. 18 partners coordinated by JIVE (Joint Institute for VLBI in Europe, Netherlands).
