    Applying for Resources 
    ======================
    
      
    
    Computational resources may be allocated by any of the following
    [Computing resources
    allocation](http://www.it4i.cz/computing-resources-allocation/?lang=en)
    mechanisms.
    
    Academic researchers can apply for computational resources via  [Open
    Access
    Competitions](http://www.it4i.cz/open-access-competition/?lang=en&lang=en).
    
    Anyone is welcomed to apply via the [Directors
    Discretion.](http://www.it4i.cz/obtaining-computational-resources-through-directors-discretion/?lang=en&lang=en)
    
    Foreign (mostly European) users can obtain computational resources via
    the [PRACE (DECI)
    program](http://www.prace-ri.eu/DECI-Projects).
    
    In all cases, IT4Innovations’ access mechanisms are aimed at
    distributing computational resources while taking into account the
    development and application of supercomputing methods and their benefits
    and usefulness for society. The applicants are expected to submit a
    proposal. In the proposal, the applicants **apply for a particular
    amount of core-hours** of computational resources. The requested
    core-hours should be substantiated by scientific excellence of the
    proposal, its computational maturity and expected impacts.
    Proposals do undergo a scientific, technical and economic
    evaluation. The allocation decisions are based on this
    evaluation. More information at [Computing resources
    allocation](http://www.it4i.cz/computing-resources-allocation/?lang=en)
    and [Obtaining Login
