University of Antwerp

Flemish Supercomputer Centre (VSC) participation

The university is one of the five Flemish university partners in the Vlaams Supercomputer Centrum and operates the CalcUA tier-2 cluster locally. The shared account and allocation portal at account.vscentrum.be redirects to a Shibboleth discovery service whose institution list includes "Universiteit Antwerpen" against entityID https://idpx.ua.ac.be/idp/shibboleth — which is how that entityID was recovered. The portal itself is not a University of Antwerp surface, so it is recorded as a participation, not credited as an institution contract. No public API or specification is published for either the portal or CalcUA.

Not an API. University of Antwerp publishes no API for this. It is a product area, listed for completeness, and it is not counted in the provider's API total.
