The Workshop at a Glance
From May 4 to May 6, 2026, roughly forty researchers from across the United States and Europe gathered in Barcelona for an intentionally small, conversation-driven workshop on AI and Edge Computing for Scientific Research. The meeting was hosted at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), directly next to the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), and was supported by DISCOVER-US, the EU project building transatlantic research collaboration in advanced computing. The workshop was organized by Pete Beckman (Northwestern University), Nicola Ferrier (Argonne National Laboratory / Northwestern), and Rosa M. Badia (BSC), with a welcome led by Koen De Bosschere (Ghent University) on behalf of DISCOVER-US.
