The 6th Advanced Computing Meeting will bring together Portugal’s advanced computing community to discuss access to computing resources, emerging technologies, and the sector’s future in Portugal and Europe.
Taking place on 3 and 4 November 2026 at the University of Minho in Braga, the event is organised by Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), through FCCN, in partnership with the University of Minho and the National Centre for Advanced Computing (CNCA).
Among the discussed topics are the opportunities offered by the CNCA and the advanced computing services, as well as by European initiatives such as the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, EuroCC3, and the BSC AI Factory. The program will also include dedicated sessions on artificial intelligence applications in research and industry, preparation for next-generation computing, and access to European supercomputers, including Deucalion.
The 2026 edition also aims to strengthen the dialogue between academia, industry, government, and research centres in Portugal.
