N8 CIR Bede Application

This form should only be completed by researchers from an N8 institution or those looking to pilot their work ahead of a formal EPSRC call.

It is strongly advised that you contact your local Research Software Engineering support at Bede RSE support before you complete this form to ascertain if your application is suitable for Bede.

All non-N8 applications have to go through the EPSRC Access to HPC application process. It is hoped that we will be able to give small allocations to non-N8 researchers through a ‘driving test’ scheme for them to test the suitability of their projects before they apply to a RAP call.

We recognise that some researchers may need to pilot their work before a formal EPSRC call. These researchers should answer 'yes' to question 2 and complete the rest of the form as fully as possible.
