Regional Access sub-programme:  One of the new objectives of HPC-Europa3 project is the extension of the geographic coverage of the Transitional Access programme. In this context, HPC-Europa3 visitors from the Baltic and the South East European (including Western Balkans and Eastern Partnership) countries are also highly encouraged to apply.

There are three main differences between the Transitional Access programme and the Regional Access sub-programme:

1. Only users from the Baltic and the South East European countries are allowed to apply to the Regional Access sub-programme.
2. The HPC centres that will be hosting the Regional Access sub-programme visitors are KTH-PDC (Sweden) for the visitors from the Baltic countries and GRNET (Greece) for the visitors from the South East European countries.
3. Only applicants from the Baltic and the South East European countries that have "no" or "little" experience in HPC will be allowed to apply for the Regional Access sub-programme via the same application form .
