Open access features

HPC RIVR is designed as a national open access infrastructure. It is based on the outlines of the European Charter for Access to Research Infrastructures.

Open access to public scientific research infrastructures and infrastructures that are mainly used or managed by public educational and scientific research organisations is a key component of the European strategy for the promotion of open science and open innovation.

As part of the HPC RIVR consortium and in collaboration with the SLING consortium, the operational group for open access lays down criteria and procedures for obtaining access as well as the priorities of using HPC RIVR resources. The operational group for open access consists of HPC RIVR operational administrators who are appointed by the Management Board of the consortium upon proposal from partners. A SLING representative can be a member as well. Open access for users and groups to HPC RIVR infrastructure is based on separate steps of verification and access credentials. The allocation of time-limited resources, such as processor and disk capacities of supercomputing resources is subject to different priorities. We use virtualized services and disk arrays.
