The EuroHPC JU AI and Data-Intensive Applications A
ccess call aims to support ethical artificial intelligence, machine learning, and in general, data-intensive applications, with a particular focus on foundation models and generative AI (e.g. large language models).
Learn how powerful computing supports the use of more advanced genetic testing to improve the diagnosis of rare eye diseases.
Mattias Van Heetvelde: “The Tier-2 infrastructure from the VSC allows us the use of significant (temporary) storage and compute resources at no extra cost and ensures our data is handled securely and efficiently. As a safeguard, all patient-derived sequencing data on the VSC infrastructure are pseudonymised, meaning the key to retracing the sequencing data to patient information is not kept on VSC infrastructure.”
Discover how scientists from UHasselt, UNamur, and Sciensano are using advanced mathematical modeling to prepare for future pandemics. By analyzing data from the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers have developed a powerful tool to predict the spread of infectious diseases and assess the impact of interventions like vaccination campaigns. This groundbreaking work will equip us with the knowledge to tackle future outbreaks more effectively. Dive into this fascinating article to learn how these efforts are shaping the future of public health preparedness.

Looking to cool off during a scorching heatwave 🥵? Head to the forest 🌳—it's not just beautiful, it's also cooler thanks to thermal buffering. But did you know traditional weather stations often miss these cooler spots? They typically generate macroclimate data and miss out on what is really important for many species living close to the ground (the microclimate). The research lab sGlobe (KULeuven) aims to unravel the drivers and impact of microclimate conditions. sGlobe combines big data with state-of-the-art modelling techniques like machine learning and species distribution models to study the effects of climate change on forest life. Dive into this user story and discover how supercomputing powers this vital research.
