Preparatory access is intended for testing and developing codes</p>
<p>in order to prepare applications for PRACE Tier-0 project access.</p>
<p>In particular, we would like to draw your attention to the</p>
<p>Preparatory Access Type C and Type D which includes code </p>
<p>development with support from PRACE experts. Type C provides </p>
<p>direct access to a Tier-0 system. Type D offers users to </p>
<p>start the optimisation work on a PRACE Tier-1 national </p>
<p>system to finally reach PRACE Tier-0 system scalability.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Further information are given on the PRACE web page</p>

<p>The Preparatory Access Call is a rolling call, researchers can</p>
<p>apply for access all year. There are no closing dates, proposals</p>
<p>for Type C and Type D will be reviewed every third month. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The next cut-off date is June 3rd, 2019.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We invite all interested scientists, whose projects fit the</p>
<p>criteria of the PRACE call to submit their projects. The</p>
<p>criteria for the PRACE Calls as well as complete information on</p>
<p>the PRACE machines, how to apply and on the PRACE peer review</p>
<p>process can be found on the website mentioned above.</p>
