Please fill the “New request” form available at: https://portal.incd.pt

Depends on the size and specificities of the request. If your project is approved and resources are available the process will take less than one week. Projects requiring fewer compute and storage resources are generally easier and faster to accommodate.

You can contact us via e-mail to the INCD Computing Services helpdesk address in: INCD

Large requests should be backed by approved peer-reviewed research projects either national or European. Requests without a peer reviewed project will have lower priority, please fill the access request form with the maximum detail to facilitate the evaluati...
