Computing time

Applications for regular computing time projects on JUWELS (Jülich Wizard for European Leadership Science) may be filed in general by applicants, who are employed at universities or research facilities in Germany. The nationality of the applicant ("Principle investigator, PI") does not play a role. Individual cases may deviate from this general rule after consultation with the NIC Scientific Council and the NIC Board of Directors.

The Principal Investigator (PI) must have a proven scientific record (preferable a PhD or comparable degree) and must be able to successfully accomplish the proposed tasks.

Computing resources are allocated on the basis of independent referees' reports. Apart from the scientific relevance of the project, an important criterion for the allocation of computing resources is, that the project can make reasonable use of the computer and use a large number of processors in parallel in the computations.

NIC Scientific Council has set up a peer review board to review the project proposals and to allocate the computing resources. The decisions of the peer review board are based on the referee reports of qualified specialists in the respective field of research. These specialists are either members of the peer review board or, if required, qualified external scientists from universities or research institutions.

Dates:

Computing time periods are yearly - with the possibility of application twice per year - and will begin 1 May and 1 November each year. Applications for the next period (1 May 2024 to 30 April 2025) may be submitted from 15 January to 14 February 2024, 17:00 CET.
