Programmes Digital, Industry & Space HPCThe Digital Europe programme provides funds for the acquisition of JUPITER, the first exascale computer in Europe.
JUPITER will contain high-powered, energy efficient processors, including also first prototypes of ‘made in the EU’ processors. Its computing power will support the development of high-precision models of complex systems and applications, such as:
After its installation in the second half of 2024, JUPITER will be made available to the scientific community, industries, and the public sector across Europe. Hundreds of applications will be run in areas such as climate change and weather forecasting, material science, bio-engineering, and training large language models. Jupiter will be accessible to startups across Europe to train and deploy generative AI models.
Once operational JUPITER joins the existing supercomputers of the EuroHPC JU already in operation: MareNostrum in Spain, LEONARDO in Italy, LUMI in Finland, Discoverer in Bulgaria, MeluXina in Luxembourg, Vega in Slovenia, Karolina in Czechia, and Deucalion in Portugal – all combining to put a total of almost two billion billion calculations per second, thus confirming Europe as a world supercomputing power.

The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
