-
-## NHR Center
-
-In order to use the HPC systems installed at ZIH, it is necessary to apply for the resources.
-The applicant (HPC project manager) is required to have a doctorate/PhD.
-It is possible to apply for different [project types](project_request_form.md#project-type)
-depending on the project demands.
-
-However, the [application workflow with JARDS](project_request_form.md) is identical for all types.
-
-Since 2021, HPC at universities has been restructured by the [NHR network](https://www.nhr-verein.de/).
-The network consists of nine centers which operate the systems and offer
-a coordinated consulting service on the methodological competence of scientific HPC.
-The aim is to provide scientists at German universities with computing capacity
-for their research and to strengthen their skills in the efficient use of these resources.
-
-!!! Info  "Who can apply?"
-
-    Please note: Researchers with a doctorate from universities or universities of applied sciences
-    in Germany are eligible to apply.
-
-    We particularly invite researchers to apply with research projects related to our focus topics:
-
-       * Life Sciences
-       * Earth System Sciences
-       * Methods for big data, data analysis and management
-       * Machine Learning
-       * Tiered storage architectures and I/O optimization
-       * Performance and energy efficiency analysis and optimization
-       * Research projects not related to our focus topics but from Universities within Saxony.
-
-    We recommend **all other researchers** to review the focus topics of the remaining
-    [NHR centers](https://www.nhr-verein.de/anwendungsunterstuetzung) and apply to the most suitable
-    for your research topic. Working at the specialized NHR center related to your research topic
-    provides you with the advantage of receiving topic specific support.

-# Application System JARDS
-
-**We hereby inform you that a new application system JARDS is in place since end of March 2024.**
-
-!!! note "Follow-up applications"
-
-    For follow-up applications, please submit a new application.
-
-!!! note "ScaDS.AI applications"
-
-    For members, associated members and partners of ScaDS.AI Dresden/Leipzig,
-    we have a separate application:
-
-    [https://scads.ai/research/resources-for-research/](https://scads.ai/research/resources-for-research/)
-
-!!! note "Resources for teaching"
-
-    If you would like to have HPC resources for your course,
-    kindly follow the instructions provided at the page
-    [Access for Courses](https://tu-dresden.de/zih/hochleistungsrechnen/zugang/hpclehre).
-
-## Workflow in JARDS
-
-There are several steps necessary to apply for HPC resources.
-The application workflow is identical for each project type.
-
-- [Project type](#project-type) - Select the project type according to your resource requirements
-- [Login](#login-to-submit-your-new-application) - Login to the application portal to start a new
-  application or continue the submission
-- [Access applications](#access-overview-of-approved-projects) - Manage your approved applications
-
-Additional hints and **templates** for the project descriptions for **NHR@TUD applications**
-can be found at the following
-[ZIH pages](https://tu-dresden.de/zih/hochleistungsrechnen/zugang/projektantrag?set_language=en).
-
-Please be aware that due to the switch to the national JARDS system, the approval
-period lasts in average between 4 and 8 weeks. There are technical and scientific reviews included,
-which vary depending on the type of application. Regular and large projects are only approved after
-a positive scientific review. Starter and trial projects are approved directly after a technical
-review.
-
-!!! note "User management"
-
-    Once a project is approved, you can use the project management portal
-    [https://hpcprojekte.zih.tu-dresden.de/](https://hpcprojekte.zih.tu-dresden.de/managers/) to
-    manage the [user access](project_management.md).
-
-## Project Type
-
-The project type depends on the required resources and compute time using the HPC resources.
-It is possible to apply for HPC resources at TU Dresden via
-[national NHR JARDS](https://jards.nhr-verein.de/)system. The previous system
-[local JARDS](https://projects.hpc.tu-dresden.de/application/login.php?appkind=nhr)
-was discontinued in April 2024, however, can still be accessed in 'read-only' mode.
-
-!!! Info " Project types"
-
-    * NHR Starter
-    * Test/Preparation Projects
-    * Normal
-    * Large
-
-    The range of CPU/GPU resources for each project type at the TU Dresden can be found on
-    [the ZIH pages](https://tu-dresden.de/zih/hochleistungsrechnen/zugang/projektantrag?set_language=en).
-
-## Login to Submit Your New Application
-
-For the application of a project no ZIH Login is necessary.
-You only need a ZIH login if you want to access the resources you need for your project.
-
-The national NHR JARDS uses the e-mail callback option.
-
-Login via [national NHR application form JARDS](https://jards.nhr-verein.de/).
-The 'Open Applications' button leads you to either 'new application', 'not yet submitted' or
-'submitted'.

-To access the [overview of your approved applications](https://jards.nhr-verein.de/) in
-the national NHR JARDS system, the e-mail callback option is used as well.
-
-Please note that 'not yet approved' applications are not visible via this login.
