A nearly exhaustive list of past national training courses up to August 2023 is presented on this file (see table below). This may be an indication of the future training courses you can expect. As new training courses are constantly being proposed, for more information on upcoming trainings, please consult the information directly on the CÉCI and VSC website (see above).

Training videos and recording
Recording of past trainings and other videos can be found on the YouTube channels of the CÉCI and of the VSC.
Many of them are presented on our Training Videos page.
HPC Teaching Kit
The HPC teaching kit is a set of documents and videos that can be used as support to present HPC in computer science courses. At the moment, only the English and French versions are available. The kit consists firstly of a 2-part slide deck on HPC (English: part 1 and part 2; French: part 1 and part 2), highlighting examples of applications, the Belgian infrastructure, the structure of a supercomputer and the principle of parallelisation. Recordings of these presentations are also available on YouTube (English and French)
It also contains a starting kit (English, French), a 2-page document giving all the relevant information for anyone wanting to get started in HPC in Belgium.
Feel free to distribute these documents to anyone who might be interested. The PowerPoint versions of the slide deck and of the starting kit are also available, on request, for anyone wishing to modify them.

Code Kickstart Hackathon
February 25-27, 2026 | Espoo, Helsinki, Finland
Come to CSC’s Code Kickstart Hackathon and get some answers to your programming problems! Maybe your C++ code is unexpectedly slow or you don’t know how to call a Fortran library from your Python script. Maybe you’re uncertain how to package your R code.
The hackathon is for students and practitioners of science and engineering. During the hackathon we’ll help you with your programming problems and you’ll leave with something concrete and useful.
This will be an on-site event at CSC with
Cost:
– For academic partipants: 180€ (excl. VAT) per team member.
– For industry: 840€ (excl. VAT) per team member.
Format: On-site (no remote participation possibility)
Details and registration: https://csc.fi/en/training-calendar/code-kickstart-hackathon/ (deadline: January 16th, 2026)
We may organise further courses on HIP, OpenMP or SYCL specifically for AMD GPUs but, for such courses or domain-specific courses, we rely mostly on courses organised by other European programs.
Basic training on parallel computing is taken care of by the local courses organised by the VSC and CÉCI. We also plan a regular user meeting at the Belgian level.
Local organisations, such as the national competence centres, may also organise courses that are open to others, so this offering may be augmented with further courses.
Specific LUMI trainings and events organised by the LUMI support team are announced on the LUMI website
