Hidalgo2 Clustering Event in Stuttgart, Germany - Marcin Lawenda: Introduction to HiDALGO2

Описание: In this presentation, Marcin Lawenda, the project coordinator, introduces the HiDALGO2 Centre of Excellence, explaining how High-Performance Computing (HPC) and AI are used to address global environmental and social crises. By creating high-fidelity "Digital Twins" of complex systems, the project provides decision-makers with the foresight needed to manage urban pollution, energy transitions, and natural disasters.

Key Takeaways of his speech:
1. The Power of Digital Twins: How HiDALGO2 simulates real-world environments (cities, forests, grids) in-silico to test safety scenarios and policy changes.
2. HPC & AI Synergy: The necessity of combining massive computing power with Artificial Intelligence to achieve near-real-time simulations.
3. Five Core Use Cases: A deep dive into the project's focus areas: Urban Air Pollution, Urban Building Energy, Renewable Energy, Wildfire Spread, and Water Sediment Transport.
4. Global Resilience: How European collaboration and exascale-ready applications are turning environmental uncertainty into actionable preparedness.
