Open at latest check: LUMI Finnish academic access Checked 13 November 2026.
Academic users affiliated with a Finnish higher-education or research institute. The national guide accepts Regular, Benchmark and Development applications at any time through MyCSC. Choose the mode matching your work.
The PI needs Finnish academic affiliation. Free academic use requires public results; confidential commercial RDI is paid. Other countries and EuroHPC use separate routes, with no GPU capacity guaranteed. Official source and next step
Unverified current status: LUMI national or EuroHPC route Checked 13 November 2026.
Applicants deciding between a LUMI consortium-country route and EuroHPC. Choose your country or Users in Europe on the official starting page, then inspect that route's current call.
National and European pools have different eligibility and call calendars. This starting page alone does not establish a currently open allocation for your organisation. This status needs a new check before relying on the route. Official source and next step

Who can apply?
Academic researchers or companies in a LUMI consortium country for the national route; academic or public researchers in EU Member States or Horizon Europe associated countries, and eligible European companies, for the EuroHPC route.
How do I take the next step?
Apply through your country's national mechanism or through the EuroHPC call, following the country guides on the page.
Recorded deadline
No future deadline is recorded here. That does not establish that a call is open, closed or continuously available.
Check the official programme before applying. A recorded region is not a decision about your eligibility, and an allocation is not guaranteed.
Evidence and limits
- LUMI resources are split equally between national allocations and allocations made by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking. Source
- For the EuroHPC route the principal investigator needs an employment contract valid for at least three months after the allocation period ends. Source
