VSC Management Board

In order to optimize the operation of the VSC, to make the VSC organization more vigorous, and to meet the (future) needs of a growing number of stakeholders, the FWO board of directors set up a Management Board for the VSC on 18 September 2019.

The VSC Management Board may not be limited to current users, so the new Strategic Management Board comprises representatives from universities, strategic research centers, Flemish scientific organizations, and the industry. 

The VSC is working hard on expanding its service (with a cloud and a data component in addition to computing power) and must be ready for new challenges that extend beyond the limits of the current VSC offering.
