The DEISA Extreme Computing Initiative (DECI) is a scheme through which European computational scientists (researchers outside Europe also can be involved if they collaborate with researchers from within Europe) can apply for single-project access to world-leading computational resources in the European HPC infrastructure, operated by DEISA, for a period of up to 10 months.  DECI enables European researchers to obtain access to the most powerful national computing resources in Europe, regardless of their country of origin or work and to enhance the impact of European science and technology at the highest level.

A new call for DEISA project proposals has been opened:
http://www.deisa.eu/science/deci/deci-call-for-proposals2010/

Through an open, competitive call, a number of capability computing projects will be selected on the basis of innovation and scientific excellence. These projects must deal with complex, demanding, innovative simulations that would not be possible without the DEISA infrastructure, and which would benefit from the exceptional resources of the Consortium.

Support in the preparation phase of a project proposal is available through CaSToRC - please contact Patrick Fitzhenry ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it )
