The Institute welcomed visitors with more than ten programmes, including a robot dog demonstration, self-flying drones and the 50th anniversary of the microprocessor revolution.

Over the summer, the 17th Students' Forum, or the regular scientific gathering organised by the research group of Zsolt János Viharos and his partners, took place. As part of the programme, the ZalaZONE Automotive Test Track hosted the researchers. The first forum was organised more than five years ago, on 30 April 2019, by Zsolt János Viharos, Senior Research Fellow of the Research Laboratory of Engineering and Business Intelligence at HUN-REN SZTAKI. He and his students have been holding regular scientific meetings since then.

The HUN-REN SZTAKI's portrait-drawing robot worked its way through the 2024 conference held between 26 and 29 August, where two researchers from the institute also gave lectures on the its operation and development challenges. More than 200 drawings from around the same number of people were made during the event. Report.

Professor Klitzing, who gave a keynote lecture on the morning of the closing day of the conference, won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1985 for his discovery of the quantum Hall effect, which eventually led to major advances in metrology.

The third day of the IMEKO World Congress 2024 took place on 28 August 2024, with Stefan Hell, winner of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, giving a keynote presentation. The professor presented online and talked about new developments in the past ten years since winning the Nobel Prize for his achievements in microscopy. HUN-REN SZTAKI is being present all week at the conference, which will take place from 26 to 29 August.

In addition to the usual marker made drawing, Frank Härtig received a second picture made with a new technique, using graphite pencil. HUN-REN SZTAKI is exhibiting at the conference in Hamburg all week.

2024. augusztus 26-án zajlott a 29-ig tartó IMEKO World Congress 2024 első napja, aminek technológiai szekcióiban a HUN-REN SZTAKI két kutatója, Nacsa János és Viharos Zsolt János, a Mérnöki és Üzleti Intelligencia Kutatólaboratórium tudományos főmunkatársai is előadtak a rendezvényen is kipróbálható portrérajzoló robotról.

The EU-funded “Application-level Swarm-based Orchestration Across the Cloud-to-Edge Continuum” (Swarmchestrate) project launched at the beginning of 2024. This spring, the HUN-REN SZTAKI lead consortium of 14 partners gathered in Budapest for their first face-to-face project meeting to discuss the working plan of the project that introduces a fundamentally new application management approach, and then signed the consortium agreement recently.

Between July 30 and August 1, 2024, the Hungarian Machine Learning Days was organized for the second time at the European Youth Centre in Budapest, by the Artificial Intelligence National Laboratory (MILAB), coordinated by HUN-REN SZTAKI.

A HUN REN SZTAKI munkatársai 2024. május 30-31-én részt vettek a második személyes megbeszélésen a [CINEA] által támogatott [BATTwin] projekt kapcsán. A megbeszélésen szóba került a HUN-REN SZTAKI által vezetett munkacsomag tervezése, melynek 24 hónapos időablaka júniussal kezdődik.

Colleagues from the Laboratory of Parallel and Distributed Systems participated in the face-to-face kick-off meeting of the new Horizon Europe project, GreenDIGIT. The 36-month-long project aspires to lower the environmental footprint of Digital Infrastructures. The project's coordinator, the University of Amsterdam welcomed the 15-member consortium in Amsterdam and launched the project with an in-person meeting in spring of 2024.

Young experts of data-driven modelling from Europe met up on 23-24 May, 2024 at HUN-REN SZTAKI to discuss emerging trends in system identification and machine-learning. The annual workshop, this year organized by Prof. dr. Roland Toth, aims at discussing the most recent research results of the participants in data-driven model learning, acting as a catalyzer for solving challenging open questions and developing new technologies in modelling.
