Through the Spanish National Plan for Scientific Research, Technological Innovation and Development 2008-2011, CESGA has obtained financing (ICTS-2009-40) from the MICINN to provide access to researchers from the EU, the European Economic Area, and countries member of the Latin American Programme of Science and Technology for the Development (CYTED).

These grants aim to financially cover the access of individual researchers or research groups to ITCS-CESGA to carry out research projects, acquire knowledge or get training in technologies in use at the premises. 

The ICTS-CESGA programme offers two types of access:

• Access to off-site computing time (remote access). A total of 3 million CPU hours of Finis Terrae computing time is available to ICTS users in 2010.
  

• In-house research visits at CESGA. There are 18 in-house research visits offered through this call, each of a duration of up to 5 weeks.

Access can be requested by predoctoral students, PhDs or researchers with a minimum of three years of research experience.

The ICTS-CESGA Access Programme for 2010 is open and its first call deadline is April 12th, 2010. Proposals submitted until this date will be reviewed by an External Committee and the results of the selection will be notified in May 2010.
