The standardized gaming-café operator has signed 31 franchise agreements spanning 178 locations in 11 countries and is opening three new venues simultaneously as it pursues continental growth.
Scientists at Denmark's Technical University have deployed Europe's flagship supercomputer to model electron behaviour in lithium manganese oxide batteries, combining quantum simulations with machine learning.
Treating open data as a one-time publishing exercise misses the point, argues Mykhailo Kornieiev of the e-Governance Academy. Real maturity comes from managing datasets as products, with clear ownership, quality standards and continuous monitoring.
The fellowship program is seeking mid-career journalists, researchers, and policy professionals to produce independent work on technology and democracy. Applications close on September 24, 2026.
BOOKR, a Budapest-based edtech firm specializing in digital reading and language learning, has closed a Series A round led by TCEE Fund IV to expand its platform across new markets and launch new product lines.
As governments expand digital services and international partnerships, clear rules on data use, access and oversight have become essential to maintaining public confidence and preventing data colonialism.
A new technical study on Europe's LUMI supercomputer examines how reinforcement learning for large language models scales efficiently across multiple compute nodes, offering practical guidance for researchers and industry practitioners.
