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, a test or development project, 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, which is linked to each call for proposals.

Project applications will be assessed for relevance and feasibility. Personal data processing agreement and declaration on the use of resourcesmust be attached as files to the application form.

At the end of the project, the project leader must submit a final report (template on the button below).

Extension and/or increase of resources

When renewing a project or requesting an extension of a project, a maximum of 50% of the additional resources approved in the original resource allocation may be requested. A time extension is also possible for a maximum of 6 months. For the extension of project the RP project leader must submit a progress report at least one month before the end of the project, on the basis of which an extension may be granted. If the report is not submitted on time, the project will be suspended.

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