ExaNeSt Project Successfully Builds Prototype for ExascaleToday the whole world is trying to push supercomputer technology to the exascale level, i.e. a billion billion calculations per second. In Europe, this exascale vision will be made possible with contributions by Consortia funded by the Horizon 2020 Programme of the EU in projects such as ExaNeSt, which built a first ‘straw man’ prototype, having worked on this since 2016.

Tackling Security Challenges of Emerging TechnologiesThe European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) and the Institute of Computer Science of the Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH) jointly organised the 6th Network and Information Security (NIS) Summer School from 16- 20 September 2019 in Heraklion, Greece.

Dr. Yannis Spyropoulos, Researcher at the IMS, earned a highly competitive ERC Starting Grant.ERC Starting Grants are awarded to early-career researchers of any nationality with two to seven years of experience since completion of the PhD (or equivalent degree) and a scientific track record showing great promise. This grant is a funding scheme that supports young talented research leaders to gain independence and build their own research team in Europe.

6TH ENISA-FORTH NETWORK INFORMATION SECURITY SUMMER SCHOOL IS APPROACHING FASTThe European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) and the Institute of Computer Science of the Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH) jointly organise the 6th Network and Information Security (NIS'19) Summer School, which will be held between the 16th and the 20th September 2019 in Heraklion, Greece. The theme of the Summer School for this year is "Security Challenges of Emerging Technologies", referring to the security challenges and opportunities posed by new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, new Network Infrastructures (i.e. 5G), IoT applications, Machine Learning, etc.
