The event, organized by FCCN, FCT's digital services, brings together researchers, technicians and decision-makers with the aim of promoting collaboration and the development of skills in the area of Advanced Computing. It will also make it possible to share knowledge, discuss innovative solutions and strengthen cooperation between academia, industry and research centers.

This meeting is part of the activities of the National Network for Advanced Computing and aims to discuss current topics such as the infrastructures and resources available to Portuguese researchers, artificial intelligence and the challenges of the digital transition in academic and business areas. Participants will also learn about the network's latest updates, developments in the national and European High Performance Computing (HPC) ecosystem and enjoy this meeting point for all those interested in Advanced Computing.

The 4th edition will be attended by Professor Francisco Santos, vice-president of FCT, who will present information on the new National Center for Advanced Computing. Other highlights include sessions on the role of supercomputers, such as Deucalion and MareNostrum 5, both supported by the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) in scientific and technological innovation, as well as on the synergies boosted by initiatives such as EuroHPC or EuroCC, in terms of training specialized human resources and strengthening international partnerships.
