EXCELLERAT P2 was proudly represented at the 18th International Symposium on Operations Research (SOR’25), held in Bled, Slovenia, from September 24-26, 2025. This symposium serves as a regional platform for scientific exchange at the forefront of operations research, encompassing novel findings in mathematics, statistics, economics, engineering, environmental science, computer science, and more.

For the second consecutive year, researchers from the EXCELLERAT consortium took part in the Automotive Testing & ADAS Expo — a leading trade fair focused on advanced testing technologies for the automotive sector, including simulation, modelling, data management, data analytics, and AI tools supporting ADAS and autonomous vehicles.

From May 19–22, the ASHPC25 Conference took place in Rimske Terme, Slovenia. ASHPC25 is one of the largest Austrian-Slovenian events dedicated to R&D in the HPC field, bringing together researchers, innovators, and industry professionals from across Europe. The EXCELLERAT project was featured in the pitch session, while the EXCELLERAT Service Portal and the services offered by the Centre of Excellence (CoE) were showcased during the poster session.

The use of high-performance computing (HPC) resources for engineering applications within industry holds tremendous potential. HPC helps to increase the speed of product development cycles through realistic simulations of complex relationships for validation purposes. HPC centres offer optimal conditions for this, as hardware and software are optimised for highly detailed simulations based on the latest state of the art.

On May 6–7, 2025, the EXCELLERAT P2 consortium convened in Ljubljana, Slovenia, for its first All-Hands Meeting of the year. Hosted at City Hotel Ljubljana, the event gathered experts from across Europe to discuss the latest developments in high-performance computing (HPC), assess project milestones, and plan future collaboration.

The EuroHPC Summit 2025, held in Krakow from March 18 to March 20, brought together key stakeholders in the European high-performance computing (HPC) ecosystem. EXCELLERAT was represented at the conference by several team members participating in various sessions. Additionally, EXCELLERAT had a dedicated poster on display throughout the event, highlighting the project’s latest achievements and ongoing efforts in advancing computational engineering.

EXCELLERAT played a key role at the 2025 High Performance, Edge, and Cloud Computing (HiPEAC) conference, held at the Palau de Congressos in Barcelona, Spain last January. As a leading event that brings together experts in computing systems, HiPEAC provided an excellent platform for EXCELLERAT to present its contributions to advancing High Performance Computing (HPC) applications for engineering.

On October 18, 2024, EXCELLERAT P2 and EuroCC Italy collaborated on a dynamic workshop in Bologna, Italy, designed to advance the use of Machine Learning (ML) and Data Analytics in engineering. This event brought together engineers, data scientists, and researchers from EXCELLERAT and EuroCC National Competence Centre Italy to exchange expertise and dive into cutting-edge ML methods that are reshaping data-driven engineering processes.

On October 16-17, 2024, the EXCELLERAT P2 project team gathered at CINECA in Bologna for the highly anticipated All-Hands Meeting. This event brought together experts and stakeholders in high-performance computing (HPC) to discuss the progress and future direction of the project.
