HPC and Big Data Technologies for Global Challenges
Successor to the HiDALGO Centre of Excellence. A 9-partner consortium across 7 European countries 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).
