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.

What you get: Conditional HPC allocations from 2 January 2027 for approved projects. Allocated resources are charged, not free; an application does not guarantee an award or available compute.
How to apply: Historical process for the eighth call: the principal investigator or supervisor, or an authorised team member, submitted an application for Research Office verification. This application window has ended; check the guide for a separately announced later call.

Historical Singapore RIE-funded-project allocation call. The latest official guidance extends the eighth-call deadline to 30 October 2026 at 17:00, superseding 16 and 23 October. The stated deadline has passed; its timezone is not specified.
The table's Ongoing project label does not reopen applications. Allocations are charged and need an HPC budget. A ninth call is tentatively listed for 5 to 30 April 2027; it is a separate, provisional round. Official source and next step
Deadline At the 13 November 2026 source check, the guide recorded a further extended deadline of 30 October 2026 at 5:00 PM, superseding 16 and 23 October. That application window has ended. Its timezone was not stated. The ninth call is tentatively scheduled for 5 to 30 April 2027 and is a separate round.
- The guide now lists the eighth-call deadline as extended to 30 October 2026 at 5pm; the earlier 16 October and 23 October dates are struck through. Its timezone was not stated. Applications after the window are not considered. Source
- The eighth-call allocation period starts from 2 January 2027 for approved projects. The ninth-call application dates of 5 to 30 April 2027 are tentative, not a reopening of the eighth call or available compute. Source
- The guidance, updated 2 September 2026, says allocated HPC resources are charged and approved RIE-funded projects need an HPC compute budget. Source
