An AI assistant based on the PLLuM Polish language model is now available to Internet users. The model is designed to reflect the complexity of the Polish language, as well as to be free of harmful content and disinformation. NASK was part of the consortium that worked on the model, and is now taking on the role of project leader.

The project “Identity wallets in a hostile environment: privacy and trust ‘by-design’” by Prof. Miroslaw Kutylowski of NASK-SCIENCE has received funding in the OPUS 26+LAP/Weave competition as one of thirteen Polish-German research projects. The OPUS competition is the National Science Centre’s (NCN) largest grant program.

Dr. Konrad Ciecierski has become a member of the scientific committee of the conference “The place of neurosurgery in modern oncology”, which will be held on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Nervous System Tumor Clinic of the National Institute of Oncology PIB in Warsaw. The conference will be held on November 7-8, 2024 in Warsaw.

The NASK SCIENCE will be hosting scientists from PJATK on Wednesday, October 16, from 11:00-12:30 with a scientific seminar entitled “Supporting the detection and evaluation of disinformation with language models”. You are welcome to attend this seminar in person or join the live streaming on NASK’s Youtube. This seminar will be held in Polish.

NASK, Poland’s National Research Institute, and the University of Queensland (UQ) have just signed a cooperation agreement. This partnership will leverage our expertise in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity to drive innovative research and educational initiatives.

Is artificial intelligence inclusive? What are the barriers to inclusivity and what can be done to overcome them? The second edition of the All Inclusive Film Festival ended at the Kino Żeglarz, and although it’s a film festival in name, there was a space for important knowledge on technology as well.

Kamila Lis, a PhD student at NASK SCIENCE, has been awarded a prestigious scholarship within the “Young Researchers in Vienna” program organized by the Polish Academy of Sciences. She will receive a one-week scholarship to stay at the PAN research station in Vienna, where she will have the opportunity to further develop and present her research project.

Our scientist, Dr. Michal Wronski, has won a prestigious scholarship from the Minister of Science for his achievements in the field of cryptology. This award is given to outstanding young scientists who demonstrate significant achievements in scientific activities.

On June 20-21, an international conference, the 24th Central European Conference on Cryptology (CECC 2024), was held in Poland for the first time in seven years, within the premises of the Military University of Technology. The conference was jointly organized by the Military University of Technology and the Scientific and Academic Computer Network – National Research Institute. It covered a wide spectrum of modern cryptology, from quantum cryptology to side-channel attacks, from theoretical aspects of cryptology to application issues.
