The consortium "Demonstration of Digital Twins for a Green Steel Value Chain", or DiGreeS for short, launched on 1 November 2024, aims to promote the sustainable development of the European steel industry by coordinating the joint activities of a total of eleven European partner institutions, mainly through the application of smart manufacturing and digital twin solutions. Several departments of the HUN-REN SZTAKI are involved in the project: cooperation within the institute creates the opportunity to achieve synergy between technological security and innovative solutions.

The software developed in cooperation between Semmelweis University (SE), Ulyssys Ltd. and SZTAKI, using artificial intelligence to automatically analyse CT images and aids the early detection of cancer, could be a milestone in lung cancer diagnostics, said Béla Merkely, Rector of SE, at the closing event of the project in Budapest on Thursday.

In the Innovation and Demo Space (IDS), some of SZTAKI’s most recent research and development results were presented and demonstrated. SZTAKI is part of the Eötvös Loránd Research Network (ELKH).

The event was attended by Dr. Károly Balázs Solymár, Deputy State Secretary for Digitalisation at the Ministry of Innovation and Technology, Marco-Alexander Breit, Head of the Artificial Intelligence and Digital Technologies Task Force at the German Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Change, and several members of the Gaia-X board.

The goals set in the cooperation of the parties will help researchers, domestic medical technology developers, manufacturers, and the efforts of the government in the field of health care, thus creating interests for those involved in the health industry.

One of the most important tasks of governing bodies in sports is to distribute the revenue generated by all participants in a fair way. László Csató, a research fellow of the Labora-tory on Engineering and Management Intelligence, Research Group of Operations Re-search and Decision Systems – together with his PhD student, Dóra Gréta Petróczy (Cor-vinus University of Budapest) – has written a paper on this topic entitled “Revenue allo-cation in Formula One: a pairwise comparison approach”, which has recently appeared in International Journal of General Systems.

The paper is published by ELKH SZTAKI director László Monostori and head of Research Laboratory on Engineering & Management Intelligence, József Váncza.

The HydroCobotics concern (Hyd-Cob for short) would develop a safe application for vertical hydroponic systems with the involvement of industrial robots.

Csató László, a research fellow of the Laboratory on Engineering and Management Intelligence, Research Group of Operations Research and Decision Systems has recently written a book on this topic, which is part of the Palgrave Pivots in Sports Economics series under the title “Tournament Design (How Operations Research Can Improve Sport Rules)”.

HunCERT held a three-day long communications training that began on the 19th of October. After simulating attacks against service providers’ web servers, emergence of phishing pages aiming the pandemic situation had also been simulated. Experts measured the rapidness of reaction times during attack.

On the 19th of November 2019, an aircraft with aeroelastically tailored wings flew in real environment for the first time in the world. The wings carbon fibre composite orientation is changing by the wind’s direction. The flight of the craft that was developed under the SZTAKI-lead international project FLEXOP was to test ease passive damping of the load on the wings. SZTAKI has also responsible for building and functioning the board aviation (electric flight) system, including sensors and batteries inside the wings, and the autopilot system’s software and hardware components. With these, the craft is viable for repeatable experiments to collect data.

Megalakult a Mesterséges Intelligencia Koalíció (MI Koalíció) Balatonfüreden. Palkovics László innovációs és technológiai miniszter hangsúlyozta, a koalíció magalapításában ölt testet Magyarország válasza a mesterséges intelligencia generálta kihívásokra, platformot teremtve az ezen területen dolgozó szervezetek együttműködéséhez. Monostori László akadémikus, intézetünk igazgatója az MTA SZTAKI és az IPAR 4.0 Nemzeti Platform Szövetség nevében is aláírta az egyezményt.
