Access
The RNCA's computing resources are aimed at the public or private research, technology and innovation/industry communities in any scientific field. Interested parties can access them through the FCT (Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, I.P.) national calls for tenders in accordance with the conditions under each Call or submit a request for access.
In addition to access to national resources, the EuroHPC (European Joint Undertaking for High Performance Computing) joint initiative provides a European high-end supercomputer infrastructure, including pre-exascale and petascale technology, to meet today's needs and requirements. In particular, it aims to attract users from SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) and the public sector. Interested parties can access it through the EuroHPC calls. The RNCA provides support to interested parties in Portuguese territory.
