Revision as of 12:03, 27 June 2014
The SweStore nationally accessible storage is available for researchers financed by VR (which includes all researchers using SNIC compute resources) and FORMA.
Research Communities
SweStore is also in collaboration with ECDS, SND, Bioimage, BILS, UPPNEX,WLCG, Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet. If any of these cover your research area, first read their information on applying for SweStore storage.
UPPNEX
If you are a member of an UPPNEX project on UPPMAX, an iRODS service is already available and configured for you, please see http://www.uppmax.uu.se/faq/how-to-move-files-to-swestore-using-irods for more information on how to use it.
Other communities
Unless you are instructed otherwise, submit an application to SweStore as outlined below.
Application instructions
Application for Swestore need more fields now. Soon Swestore application will be moving to SUPR System. Once it is moved, these fields can be filled in SUPR instead.
