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.

To mark the opening of the 2025 Paris Air Show, EuroCC Belgium had the pleasure of speaking with Philippe Geuzaine and Ingrid Lepot from Cenaero, a key player in aeronautics and space design, and the coordinating entity behind EuroCC Belgium's activities.

FFplus is a European initiative, highlighting the adoption of HPC and (generative) AI for SMEs and start-ups across Europe, showing the business benefits and impacts of adopting HPC and AI in real business models. 

The second FFplus Open Call for Business Experiments opened on June 4th and is dedicated to:

HPC, a strategic development tool, is available to the Belgian industry! 
 

As part of the EuroCC project, Cenaero leads the Belgian Competence Center in HPC, High-Performance Data Analytics (HPDA), and Artificial Intelligence (AI), called EuroCC@Belgium.
