Resource Allocation Committee
All research entities in Norway that receive public funding support for research may apply for access to the infrastructure. Applications and the scientific merit of the research activity are evaluated by a Resource Allocation Committee (RFK), appointed by the Sigma2 Board.
Access to the infrastructure is subject to criteria that are defined in a general policy and detailed guidelines for resource allocation.
