ACCESS

CESGA through periodic calls, offers  access to its resources to researchers from the scientific community of EU countries, European Economic Area,  countries of the CYTED program, and  also to researchers with legal residence in any of these countries.

The main aim is to provide access to the researchers or research groups to CESGA's resources  in order to carry out research projects, acquire knowledge or get training in technologies in use at the premises.

CESGA sets at the disposal of the ICT users 20% of computational hours available per year.
