In this session, we bridge the gap between Ansys Fluent and supercomputing. You will discover how Ansys is constantly working to accelerate the entire CFD workflow, what recent developments there are in the field of meshing, and how CFD simulations can be drastically accelerated with the Fluent native multi-GPU solver. The VSC's GPU infrastructure offers a unique opportunity to explore the added value of high-end GPUs for your own CFD workflow.

In this VSC Connect Blog post, our colleague Carl Mensch, discusses the potential of quantum computing, adressing challenges and hurdles in the way of the quantum computing research. In this interview, he provides insights and recommend resources to researchers and companies who are getting involved in that research area.

Quantum computing won't replace classical computing it wil complement it, solving problems we couldn't tackle before.”

On December 17th, 2025, the third edition of the LUMI-BE User Day was organised in the Marie-Elisabeth Belpaire Building, Bd Simon Bolivar 17, Brussels.

It was jointly organised with the VSC (the Flemish Supercomputer Center) Users Day.

The LUMI-BE parallel session contained experiences and inspiring stories from LUMI users. 

You can view the presentations by clicking on the topic in the program (only Laurent Bricteux's presentation is not available yet).

In the latest 𝙑𝙎𝘾 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝘽𝙡𝙤𝙜, Lander Willem from the Universiteit Antwerpen shares his vision as the new Chair of the VSC User Committee.
He reflects on the committee’s vital role as the bridge between researchers and VSC’s operational teams — fostering collaboration, improving services, and ensuring that HPC resources continue to empower innovation across Flanders and beyond.

My goal is to ensure that the voice of VSC users remains strong, visible, and unified.”

The EPICURE project is proud to unveil the European HPC Application Support Portal*, designed and developed by the EPICURE project, and fully integrated into the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) ecosystem. 

This one-stop gateway empowers researchers, innovators, and industry users across Europe with: 

• streamlined access to support services
• best practices for application optimisation
• A rich library of training materials

This portal makes it easier than ever to harness the full power of EuroHPC supercomputers.

VSC proudly presents the first VSC Connect Blog, sharing insights, stories and expert perspectives on HP, AI & innovation from the VSC Team. 
 

👉 Prof. Dr. Geert Jan Bex, Docent in Supercomputing & Data Sciences (UHasselt & KU Leuven), and Training & Awareness Manager at EuroCC Belgium kicked of the series. 

Prof. dr. Geert Jan Bex shares how international collaboration in EuroCC boosts training opportunities: 

After more than three decades of high-level scientific engagement, Professor Roberto Lazzaroni is preparing to retire from his position at the University of Mons. A trained chemist, a researcher passionate about molecular modelling, and a key player in the interuniversity dynamics that led to the creation of the CÉCI, he has contributed to shaping the landscape of high-performance computing in Belgium.
