As part of the CEU Határtalan Tudás (Boundless Knowledge) series, three researchers from Artifical Intelligence National Laboratory (MILAB) gave presentations.

Bálint Vanek, senior researcher at HUN-REN SZTAKI’s Systems and Control Lab and lead researcher of ARNL, delivered a Flutter Control Workshop at Airbus UpNext, the advanced research and innovation division of Airbus, in Toulouse, France. The workshop focused on key insights from the successful flight demonstrations of active flutter suppression carried out in the framework of the FLEXOP and FliPASED H2020 projects and the methodologies that supported these outcomes. The presentation also underlined the projects’ influence on flight safety and their recognition by EASA experts.

Vanek Bálint, a HUN-REN SZTAKI Rendszer és Irányításelméleti Kutatólaboratórium, valamint az ARNL vezető kutatója “Future Perspectives of Active Flutter Suppression Technologies Based on Recent Flight Tests” címmel szakmai előadást tartott a toulouse-i ONERA – The French Aerospace Lab intézetben. Az előadás áttekintést adott a FLEXOP és FliPASED H2020 projektek részeként végrehajtott kísérleti repülési kampányokról, kiemelve a vezető európai űrkutatási intézményekből (HUN-REN SZTAKI, TUM, DLR és ONERA) álló konzorcium által sikeresen végrehajtott, világelső aktív flatter-elnyomást vizsgáló repülési teszteket.

No single project, person or organization can save all the lives, educate all the people and be successful by itself. Our greatest strength is in unity and collaboration. With B-prepared, we take that to heart by organizing a Co-Creation Group (CCG) where every partner engages those experts in their network to create knowledge together. A splendid example is based on the long-lasting cooperation between professionals of SZTAKI eLO and the Department of Regional Water Management of the National University of Public Service – Faculty of Water Sciences.

On 13 March 2025, Dr. Bálint Vanek, senior researcher at HUN-REN SZTAKI’s Systems and Control Lab and lead researcher of ARNL, participated as a jury member and official rapporteur in the PhD defence of Mr. Francisco Pedrosa Reis at ISAE-Supaero (Higher Institute of Aeronautics and Space) in Toulouse, France. The thesis, titled “Nonlinear Estimation of High Aspect Ratio Aircraft Using Nonlinear Deformation Formulations” was supervised by Dr. Charles Poussot-Vassal and Dr. Leandro Ribeiro Lustosa.

At the end of the 16th month of the CINEA-funded BATTwin project , the consortium held an in-person meeting at the headquarters of Verkor and Schneider Electrics in Grenoble. During the two-day event, the participants presented the results of the

Researchers from HUN-REN SZTAKI took part in the second in-person meeting of the rEUman project, led by Politecnico di Milano, held in the Czech Republic and Poland from March 18-20, 2025.

The main aim of the DKG (Distributed Knowledge Graphs) project, launched in September 2020, was to have a comprehensive overview of knowledge graph technologies and research, and to enhance development in this field.

As per tradition, the seminar series featuring publication award recipients is held again this spring.

Researchers of HUN-REN SZTAKI participated in an intensive one-day workshop in Oldenburg on 03rd February 2025, for the CINEA-funded BATTwin project. The meeting was specifically a gathering of the HUN-REN SZTAKI-led working group on the development of process-level digital twins, where the participating researchers discussed the integration of models under development.

The first national HUN-REN Cloud Meetup was held at the HUN-REN Wigner Research Center for Physics in Csillebérc, Budapest, where the most prominent scientific projects using the research infrastructure were presented along with the development plans for 2025.

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.
