National HPC Research Grants
Are you a researcher, PhD candidate, student, or faculty member? Do you need to run complex simulations for your Master’s thesis, doctoral dissertation, or a major research project? Or perhaps you want to train students and develop your own concepts within experimental initiatives?
Get in touch with us: pomoc@icm.edu.pl
At ICM UW, we provide the supercomputing power, secure data storage, and expert guidance needed to guide you step-by-step through our advanced computing infrastructure.
You can secure access to our High-Performance Computing (HPC) resources through various grant mechanisms:
- National Grants – Open to researchers across Poland. Proposals undergo formal, technical, and scientific peer review.
- Special Grants – Targeted support dedicated to strategic and interdisciplinary research.
- International Projects – Through frameworks like EuroCC, PRACE, and PLGrid, you can access European supercomputing ecosystems – including LUMI, one of the world’s fastest supercomputers (boasting 380 petaflops of computing power).
LUMI is the flagship supercomputer of the EuroHPC JU initiative, ranking among the world’s top ten fastest supercomputers. With a processing power of 380 petaflops, it drives the most demanding workloads, including massive data analytics and advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) modeling. Access for Polish users is facilitated via the national PL-Grid infrastructure and managed by ACC Cyfronet AGH. Detailed information regarding computational grant calls can be found here.
Computational grants open doors to groundbreaking research across a wide array of fields: from climate change and atmospheric modeling, through medicine, biotechnology, and next-generation materials, to aerospace engineering and Big Data analytics.
Key Eligibility Terms:
- Free of Charge for Academia – Resource utilization is completely free for staff and students of public research and educational institutions (including student research groups);
- Commercial Access – For-profit and commercial entities can access our infrastructure on a fee-based model. For detailed terms, please visit our Services page.
- Grant allocations are reviewed annually. Principal investigators are required to submit a brief progress report detailing the computational outcomes along with a list of publications that leveraged ICM UW resources.
