Apply for access to an existing project in Educloud Research

You must register for a specific project in order to gain access to Educloud resources (see the guided steps below). UiO user who only want access to Fox, the general-purpose HPC cluster, can apply for access to the Fox test project ec12. 

If you do not have ID-porten 

To add international users who do not have Norwegian e-ID, the process requires the project admin to schedule a video or phone call with the new user.

1. The project admin requests a invitation link being sent to the foreign user: Educloud Self sertvice. The link requires a secret string, and will expire after 3 hours.
2. The project admin gives the secret string to the new user via video or phone call with the project admin.
3. The new user follows the link, creates the user, set password and generates qr-code for authenticator.
4. The project admin gives access to Windows machines after the new user is created.

For questions regarding user registration, please email ec-contact@usit-uio.no
