Named partners: PSNC, Poznan University of Technology, Adam Mickiewicz University, Nicolaus Copernicus University, EuroHPC JU, Polish Ministry of Digital Affairs.
PSNC leads PIAST-AI with Poznań University of Technology, Adam Mickiewicz University and Nicolaus Copernicus University. A June 2026 account by PSNC staff describes a €100 million investment, with new-infrastructure procurement planned for 2027 and full operation for 2028. Existing PSNC computing platforms already support AI models and services. Poland also participates in the LUMI AI Factory consortium.
Data-quality caveats on this record · 3
- PSNC’s June 2025 hosting announcement planned more than 1,000 GPUs without naming a model. The June 2026 account gives a later implementation schedule but no revised GPU specification.
- CORDIS lists €12.5 million in total project costs and a €6.25 million EU contribution for PIAST AIF, running from May 2026 to April 2029. The sources do not itemise how this grant relates to the €100 million infrastructure investment described by PSNC staff.
- The June 2025 hosting agreement establishes PSNC’s role. The May 2026 consortium update discusses GPU procurement without naming an awarded hardware supplier.
