From the beginning, we’ve prided ourselves on bringing the cloud to scientists and engineers who don’t have access to a major compute cluster or lack the system administration know-how to operate one. And we’re indebted to the research groups around the world who quickly understood our value proposition, and enthusiastically adopted our platform. We could not have gotten to where we are today without them. To return the favor, today we’re introducing the PiCloud Academic Research Program to grant $500 (10,000 c1 core hours) free to two researchers.

Since this is the first time we’re doing this, we want to keep it simple. If you wish to apply, send an e-mail to research-funding@picloud.com by Thursday, October 27th with the following:

1. Full name
2. Organization or educational Institution
3. Your position
4. Short biography
5. A summary of your research field and project. Feel free to include conference papers, publications, and links to project websites. Please emphasize how PiCloud’s compute power will facilitate your research.

We will be awarding two submissions with free core hours. Winning researchers will also have an opportunity to get larger exposure for their projects on our blog and website. We’re looking forward to your submissions!
