Free tier	RES resources are free of charge through open competitive calls and open to all scientists working in open research within the European Union and associated states, with the principal investigator allowed to be from an institution in any of those countries; typical requests run between 50,000 and 2,000,000 hours, and fast access activities are evaluated weekly with no priority guarantee. unit hours; metered on wall-clock; merit-reviewed national allocation

Composes with	Fast access gives a weekly-reviewed foothold on the same machines that the six-month ordinary activity then uses, and the continuation activity after a completed ordinary activity is simplified, so the three form an internal ladder.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	This is the most nationality-open allocation programme found in the whole assignment, and it is the one row a reconciler should prioritise for a user: the PI may be from any EU or associated-state institution, not a Spanish one, and there is no minimum request size. It is still fails-identity because the client holds no European institutional affiliation at all, and the distinction matters: RES fails on affiliation, not on nationality or on the science case. The hours are site-hours, not GPU-hours or core-hours, so no conversion is offered. Deadlines per the FAQ were HPC/AI/Quantum 15 September 2026, with fast access weekly.

2026-10-22	www.res.es/en/faq	'the RES resources are open to all scientists and technologists working in open research within the European Union and associated states. Therefore, the principal investigator of the team submitting the proposal can be from an institution in any of these countries', quoted
