Project application¶
Demo projects¶
You will be allocated a demo project the first time you logon . This project is personal and for testing purposes. There is a limited quota for this demo project. If you need additional resources or a project in which you wish to collaborate with other users, please apply for a standard project using this web form.
Demo projects use excess resources that are usually available under normal operation, however, if there is a shortage of resources please note that we may terminate some or all instances running in demo projects without prior notice.
Quotas are set by region. Projects that haven’t been given a quota in their respective region will be automatically given a default quota.

Standard projects¶
You can apply for a standard project (i.e. not demo) by using this web form. In this form, you need to give some information about the project. Most importantly, we separate between personal and shared projects:
- Personal
Personal projects are used by only one user. Only you will have access to your personal project.
- Shared
Shared projects can have multiple users. Users can be added or removed at any time, but access control is done by contacting NREC support. In order to add a user, the user must have logged in to NREC at least once, else the user isn’t known in the system.
