The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council invites applications for access to ARCHER through its resource allocation panel. This provides access to the council’s new national state-of-the-art high-performance computing facility for proposals of high scientific quality that would benefit from ARCHER.

A non-exclusive list of eligible projects include:

• short computational projects that do not warrant a full grant application
• UK led collaborative projects with international or industry partners
• joint applications from students with high-performance computing experience and their principal investigators
• projects that link consecutive standard grant applications or that aid the preparation of a grant or fellowship application
• extended feasibility studies and trialling application developments at scale

Applications should lie primarily within the remit of EPSRC, although proposals in multidisciplinary areas will be accepted. Individuals eligible to hold a full EPSRC grant can apply to the resource allocation panel. Higher education institutions, some research council institutes and independent research organisations are eligible.
