Researcher
Start with ACCESS Explore for eligible US research, AIRR Gateway for UK AI testing, or EuroHPC AI for Science for eligible European research. Check each route's organisation and country rules.
Democratising compute
Free and funded compute
Find a practical route to compute through research allocations, startup credits or free notebooks. Start with your situation, then check eligibility and the official next step.
Student or individual
Try interactive code in Colab's free notebooks. Eligible US graduate students can also lead an ACCESS Explore project; undergraduates need an eligible lead.
Startup
Compare UK AIRR, European AI Factories and cloud-credit programmes. Region, company stage, workload and billing conditions determine which fits.

52 programme records, with open routes first, unverified records clearly marked, and closed calls below. Status checks are separate from older programme detail dates. Open status needs another check after 30 days; a forthcoming window is not automatically declared open when its start date arrives.
Credits and allocations are not cash or guaranteed hardware. Some routes require billing accounts or a paid plan; some allocations charge for resources. Check covered services, expiry, charges and eligibility before committing.
