The final accomplishments of the 42-month-long DIGITbrain project were presented during the EC review in Brussels. HUN-REN SZTAKI was among the main contributors who made this project a success that enabled Manufacturing-as-a-Service for several European SMEs.

Employees from the Indian Manipal University (Manipal Academy of Higher Education), particularly from the Manipal Institute of Technology, Manjunath K N, and Manuel Manuel, a compliance expert from the Scania Group, visited HUN-REN SZTAKI to familiarize themselves with the activities and structure of the Artificial Intelligence National Laboratory (MILAB).

In the two broadcasts presented in November, the head and deputy head of the Institute's Research Laboratory on Engineering & Management Intelligence, József Váncza and Gábor Erdős, were interviewed, as well as two guest speakers, Paul Shore and Peter De Wolf.

With a result of 100%, Judit Mesterné Monostori, member of the Research Laboratory on Engineering and Management Intelligence (EMI) at SZTAKI, defended her PhD dissertation on December 8, 2023.

The conference titled Open Science, Open Data in Hungary – The First Two Years of HUN-REN ARP took place on 16 November 2023, and was hosted by the HUN-REN Institute for Computer Science and Control (HUN-REN SZTAKI). During this event, attendees had the opportunity to explore presentations covering the historical background, current status, and future prospects of the HUN-REN Data Repository Platform (HUN-REN ARP).

Elisabeth Angyalka Ilie-Zudor, Head of the Intelligent Information Management group, and Director’a Consultant for EU projects at HUN-REN SZTAKI, will give a presentation titled "Lump sum budget planning at the proposal writing stage and implementation experiences".

The EGI-ACE project ended in the first half of 2023 and was praised by the reviewers during the recent EC review. One of its greatest highlights was the cloud integration programme that enabled the onboarding of the Hungarian scientific cloud into EOSC (European Open Science Cloud), resulting in a fully interoperable compute and storage system for data-intensive science within this new European e-infrastructure.

The 2023 International Academy of Engineering and Technology (AET) Symposium 2023 took place at HUN-REN SZTAKI from 31 August to 1 September 2023.
