Allocations

NAISS provides and coordinates large-scale computing and storage resources which are offered free of charge to researchers at Swedish universities and research institutes authorised by the Swedish Research Council.

Resources are offered through rounds with open application procedures, to ensure that the best Swedish research is supported. There are three levels: Small, Medium and Large for resources located in Sweden. We also have two rounds for resources on the Swedish share of the Finnish LUMI system.

National Allocations Committee (NAC)

NAC is an independent body within NAISS tasked with evaluating proposals for access to resources and assigning allocations for Large rounds. Resources are allocated according to the Swedish Research Council’s strategy and grant policies for research and research infrastructures. Current NAC members are listed here.

NAC is assisted by a working group (NAC-WG) of technical experts who are evaluating the technical feasibility of proposals and assisting with project administration.
