Development Projects (DP)

Development projects are mainly aimed at the development of software and algorithms. A development project can also be a research project with limited resource needs or a project with specific goals, for example for data post-processing and visualization.

DP projects are granted access for a maximum of 12 months from the date of resource allocation. Computing resources will be allocated according to the SLING Task Allocation Standards, and a specific set of resource usage rules may apply to certain systems. The call is permanently open.

DP projects can be submitted at any time to a permanently open call for proposals, and project applications are evaluated by the members of the expert group on technical level and relevance. Once approved by the expert group, the administrators can grant access. Applicants will be informed about the eligibility of their application within 1 week of submitting the application

SLING provides high-level technical support to each DP project, organised by the Support Team. In special cases, the applicant may request expert support at the time of application to solve specific problems or to ensure the optimisation required by the project. Such support must be requested and justified by the applicant in the project application.

An applicant can only act as project leader in two approved DP projects at the same time.

You can apply for a project using the application form.

Project applications are subject to assessment of relevance and feasibility. You must also attach to the TP application the fulfilled form: Agreement on the processing of personal data (GDPR) and statement on the use of resources.

Agreement on the processing of personal data (GDPR) and declaration on the use of resources

After the completion of the project, the manager is obliged to submit a project report (template on the button below).

Extending and/or increasing resources

When renewing a project or requesting a project extension, no more than 50% of additional resources may be requested than were approved in the original resource allocation. A time extension is also possible for a maximum of 6 months. You can apply for a project extension after submitting the report at least one month before the end of the project. The project will be suspended if the report is not submitted on time.

Requests for project extensions, as well as all reports, can be submitted to support@sling.si.
