RES Users

All the nodes of RES are accessible for use by Spanish and international scientists via electronic application to a single Access Protocol.
Allocation of access to RES supercomputer facilities is based on criteria of efficacy, efficiency and transparency, mediated by a double filter system, with potential projects first being evaluated by the ANEP, followed by an evaluation by the Access Committee, composed of a Core Team and four Expert Panels of prestigious Spanish scientists external to the BSC-CNS, mainly managers of National Programs or of the ANEP.

The four Expert Panels are defined according to the classification established by the Spanish Foundation of Science and Technology (FECYT).

The Expert Panels

Astronomy, Space and Earth Sciences
Biomedicine and Health Sciences
Chemistry and Materials Science and Technology
Physics and Engineering

Each of the above areas is chaired by a group leader, who acts as a coordinator, an assistant, and eight experts in the area.
