    Lightning Talk (8' + 2' for questions)

    National parks and protected areas are increasingly exposed to global change pressures derived from climate change, land-use dynamics, invasive species, and extreme events such as droughts, wildfires, and heatwaves. These pressures can alter the structure, ecosystem functioning, and species composition, often before visible degradation is detected on the ground. Effective conservation and...

    Molecular docking is a computational technique for predicting the binding of a small molecule to a protein. Here, we tackle molecular docking through quantum computing. To do so, we must define metrics for its resolution. We present a formulation to identify the best ligand orientation and conformation within a protein binding site as a multi-objective optimisation problem. Therefore, we want...

    Secure Processing Environments (SPEs) have become essential components
    of existing and upcoming EU legislation when it comes to secondary use
    of sensitive or confidential data. Although the operational,
    technological and security landscape remains heterogeneous, common
    design patterns and governance approaches have emerged over the last
    two decades, addressing governance, computational...

    High-activity proton–proton collisions exhibit complex event topologies and correlation patterns that may provide information about collective phenomena and the emergence of medium-like behaviour in small collision systems. Identifying suitable observables, however, generally requires the manual construction and exploration of many possible spatial, event-shape and multiparticle...

    The European Health Data Space (EHDS) introduces a common framework for the secure use of electronic health data for research, innovation, public health and policy-making. A key element of this framework is the use of Secure Processing Environments (SPEs), which must ensure that personal health data can only be accessed and processed by authorised users for specific and approved purposes,...

    Variational Quantum Recurrent Neural Networks (QRNNs) offer a promising approach to time series forecasting on quantum hardware. However, despite encouraging simulation results, physical deployment faces three critical challenges: trainability issues caused by barren plateaus and hardware noise; high execution overhead when computing analytical gradients via parameter-shift rules; and...

    The emergence of AI Factories and domain-specific data spaces is transforming how scientific communities access, share, and exploit research data. Across domains such as health, environmental sciences, earth observation, materials science, digital humanities, and engineering, enabling AI-driven research requires more than advanced computing infrastructures. It requires a data ecosystem capable...

    Distributed quantum computing (DQC) is emerging as a practical route to scale quantum workloads beyond the qubit counts of individual devices, and its natural deployment target is the HPC centre, where quantum processing units are increasingly integrated alongside classical resources. However, the DQC software landscape remains fragmented: each network simulator, emulator and hardware stack...

    Distributed quantum computing (DQC) partitions a circuit across interconnected QPUs that exchange entanglement rather than qubits: a promising answer to the scalability limits of monolithic processors, and a natural fit to the multi-node model HPC centres already run. Physical testbeds remain scarce, so emulation is where protocols, partitioning strategies and communication costs are studied,...

    The secondary use of health data at national scale requires common services for discovery, access and analysis while preserving the responsibilities of the organisations that hold the data. Spain’s National Health Data Space (Espacio Nacional de Datos de Salud, ENDS) addresses this requirement through a federated governance model and a hybrid technical infrastructure. This paper presents the...

    PyCOMPSs, the Python version of COMPSs (BSC), recognized only classical processors for tasks, with no direct support for Quantum Processing Units (QPUs), which only had an experimental implementation via the Qdislib approach. To overcome this limitation, PyCOMPSs was modified to support QPUs as an additional processor type, alongside the already supported CPUs and GPUs. Using this extension,...

    The transition to the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) introduces an unprecedented computing challenge, with baseline computing and disk resource requirements projected to roughly double those of Run 3. This transition represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to fundamentally reconsider and evolve how the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) operates.

    To meet these demands, WLCG is...

    Europe's HPC landscape keeps growing: EuroHPC systems, the new AI Factories, and a wider network of national centres and other providers all offer capacity that SMEs can, in principle, use. But demand already outstrips what is available, making access a genuinely competitive process, and access alone does not by itself create industrial impact. For many SMEs the barrier is often less the...
