Governing Bodies and RES Users' Committee

The RES Council is the main governing body. It is composed of one member from each of the institutions that form the RES. The Secretario General de Coordinación de Política Científica appoints the President of the Council, and the Vice President is the representative of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center-National Supercomputing Center.

Among its functions are the appointment of the RES manager, the annual work plan, the strategic plan, the inclusion of new nodes, and the minimum technical requirements for incorporating new machines into the RES.

The CURES (Committee of Users of the Spanish Supercomputing Network) was created in February 2010 with the objective of advising the coordinators and technicians of the RES on the current state and possible improvements to the services offered. Its purpose is to promote the efficient use of supercomputing resources by sharing user experiences, gathering their feedback, and suggesting new research directions. RES users can contact CURES through a form available on the intranet.

The coordinators of each Panel in the Access Committee designated the initial composition of the CURES, formed by a total of 9 renowned researchers in their respective areas.

Since then, the CURES members themselves are the ones who propose and manage the periodical renovation of the Committee independently.

After the renewal of its composition in October 2019, the current members are:

  • President of CURES: José Javier Plata — Universidad de Sevilla
  • Representative of the Astronomy, Space, and Earth Sciences area (AECT):
    • Elena Khomenko — Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias
