Account requests

If you are not a member of the Faculty of Social Sciences (FSW) or Naturalis, you can get a user account on ALICE, by sending a request to helpdesk@alice.leidenuniv.nl (mail request) with the following information:

  • your name

  • your ULCN or LUMC account name. At ALICE, we will create a local ALICE account with the same account name. For account requests from Naturalis, this is not relevant.

  • your university or institute e-mail address.

  • your supervisor name (for PostDocs, PhDs and students only) or local host (for non-UL, non-LUMC users)

  • What do you plan to do on ALICE (1 or 2 sentences are sufficient)?

  • Do you plan to process sensitive data (related to persons) or other data that must be treated confidentially?

  • If your group leader or supervisor has access to private compute resources or maintains a project directory, do you need access? In this case, please specify them and ask your supervisor/group leader for confirmation.

    • The exception are

      • users from MI who are automatically given access to node802

      • users from Institute Lorentz who are automatically given access to node0[22-24].
