Grid5000:Open-Access

Framework of the Open Access program

Researchers outside of France or researchers outside of the French academic community can request access to Grid'5000 thanks to the Open-Access program.

If you do not have active formal collaboration with academic researchers from France (e.g. via a European project or an international partnership) or a special agreement (in any of those cases, you may be able to get a regular account thanks to it), you can get a trial access to Grid'5000 for 2 months within the framework of the Open-Access program. See the get an account page.

After the 2 months, obtaining an extension of your program requires you to provide a report.

Please, mind reading the Grid'5000 Usage Policy and the General Conditions of Use for more details on the usage of the platform.
