Between May and July this year, our team partnered with colleagues from the Türkiye, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina national competence centers to organize an online seminar series called 5 Beats of Intelligence: AI Meets Diverse Domains. All the session recordings and presentations are now available on the HPC Serbia website and the NCC Türkiye YouTube channel. We invite everyone to view these informative recordings to learn about recent AI advancements across different sectors and to stay informed about innovative methods shared by regional specialists.

In the seminar series, each country hosted a dedicated session exploring how Artificial Intelligence intersects with a different scientific or industrial field. The seminars aimed to share knowledge, inspire collaboration, and engage both academic and applied research communities within the EuroHPC ecosystem. The series attracted over 100 researchers and students focused on AI applications, HPC professionals, AI developers, industry partners seeking insights into applied AI, and members of the EuroHPC and NCC communities across Europe.

Over six sessions, the series highlighted the wide range of AI applications: from analyzing political dynamics and supporting diplomatic strategies to detecting aging biomarkers through advanced medical imaging. Participants also explored Large Language Models in studying online communities, AI’s role in strengthening healthcare, and the transformative impact of foundation models in genetics and life sciences.

Beyond health and social fields, the series emphasized AI’s influence on applied sciences and industry. The session on precision agriculture showcased practical examples of integrating AI with computer vision, IoT, and synthetic datasets to optimize farming and enhance decision-making in food production. Overall, these sessions demonstrated how combining AI with HPC capabilities drives breakthroughs across disciplines—linking fundamental research, practical applications, and cross-border collaboration within the European research landscape.
