User Agreements
All NERSC users are required to understand and adhere to our Appropriate Use Policy, which outlines how NERSC systems and services can and cannot be employed.
The NERSC Code of Conduct covers all users and governs interpersonal conduct.
Some Principal Investigators will also need to ensure that their research funder or institution is covered by an Institutional User Agreement before they use any NERSC systems. This agreement is necessary for research not directly funded by the Department of Energy Office of Science, and in some other cases.
NERSC supports open research intended to be published in open scientific journals.
NERSC users are responsible for their conduct when interacting with others in the NERSC community.
Some PIs may need to coordinate an agreement between their institution and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, in order to use NERSC resources.
