SUMMARY:Webinar #2 - AI For SMEs
DESCRIPTION:Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are key contributors to economic growth and innovation\, yet they often encounter concrete barriers when adopting artificial intelligence in a structured and sustainable manner. These barriers typically include limited internal expertise\, constrained access to computational resources\, uncertainty in identifying high-impact use cases\, concerns about costs\, and the need to ensure data protection\, security\, and regulatory compliance.This webinar provides a focused overview of how MINERVA services support SMEs in overcoming these challenges. Participants will gain a clear understanding of the services available\, eligibility and access pathways\, and the forms of practical support offered\, from initial guidance and training to advanced technical assistance for developing and optimising AI applications using high-performance computing resources. The session will also feature user success stories to illustrate applied outcomes and lessons learned. \n\n\n\nAgenda overview\n\n\n\n\nWelcome and project introduction (5 min)\n\n\n\nCommon issues for SMEs in adopting AI (10 min)\n\n\n\nMINERVA services: summary (10 min)\n\n\n\nWhat MINERVA can do for SMEs: benefits and support activities (10 min)\n\n\n\nSuccess stories from users (10 min)\n\n\n\nHow to contact MINERVA and request support (5 min)\n\n\n\nQ&A session (5 min)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRecordings\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaterials\n\n\n\nMINERVA_ppt_webinar_2- v01_shareDownload

SUMMARY:ELLIOT Webinar - Guidelines for EuroHPC applications
DESCRIPTION:This internal webinar was organised and hosted by ELLIOT as part of the T9.5 – HPC Management activities\, to present best practices for preparing applications to EuroHPC systems. Thanks to a valuable collaboration with the ELLIOT project\, MINERVA was able to make the content available more broadly\, reinforcing a shared commitment to support and inform the AI on HPC community. \n\n\n\nThe session features contributions from Laura Cavalli (CINECA) and Markus Koskela (CSC)\, who provided both strategic guidance and a practical walkthrough of the EuroHPC application forms. \n\n\n\nDuring the webinar\, the speakers also examine the specific characteristics of major EuroHPC supercomputers\, with a focus on LUMI and Leonardo. Their insights are particularly useful for users involved in HPC project preparation\, proposal development\, and resource planning. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRecordings\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaterials\n\n\n\nGuidelines_EuroHPCDownload

SUMMARY:MINERVA Online Journal Club #1: Large Concept Models
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our inaugural online journal club. In this session\, we will discuss together Meta AI’s work on Large Concept Models [1]. Our team from Tübingen AI Center will host and lead the discussion. The session is open to all and free of charge. We encourage you to read the paper before joining\, but it’s not a strict requirement. If you have specific questions that you want to have discussed during the session\, send them to minerva@tuebingen.ai.Large Concept Models are Meta AI’s suggestion how to improve reasoning and semantic processing of LLMs by introducing an abstraction layer in the typical LLM architecture that represents higher-level semantic units which they call “concepts”. Concepts are independent of their concrete textual representation and are thus represented using an existing sentence embedding space.  In the session\, we will discuss together what all of this means in detail.Looking forward to see many of you online and diving deep into the research trends. \n\n\n\n[1] https://ai.meta.com/research/publications/large-concept-models-language-modeling-in-a-sentence-representation-space/

SUMMARY:MINERVA Webinar #4 - HPC Coding Agents
DESCRIPTION:The HPC users’ primary goal is scientific discovery. However\, many encounter continuous obstacles when running code on HPC systems. Issues such as configuring environments\, managing modules\, writing job scripts\, and defining correct paths often distract from research goals. We are working to address some of these challenges. \n\n\n\nIn this presentation\, we will introduce and demonstrate an initial coding agent developed by AMD Silo AI specifically for HPC centres. We are designing it to integrate effortlessly with popular coding assistants including Cline\, Claude Code\, and Cursor. The HPC Coding Agent is especially well-suited for scientists\, engineers\, and data teams working with AMD-based HPC systems.
