FWO's Tier-1 computing time call gives researchers access to high-performance computing resources at the Flemish Supercomputer Center (VSC), funded on a rolling basis with no fixed deadline. It is open to individual applicants at Flemish universities, Strategic Onderzoekscentra (SOCs), and other Flemish public knowledge institutions who need large-scale compute capacity for their research. Unlike most FWO calls, this one runs continuously rather than on an annual cycle.
