Login¶
To access the BSC DSW you have two different options:
- BSC authentication

Please follow this decision tree:
1) Are you a BSC employee?
- ✅ You must use SIR2 Authentication. No exceptions.
2) Are you a collaborator from a Spanish institution (but not a BSC employee)?
- ✅ You should also use SIR2 Authentication.
3) Are you a collaborator from outside Spain?

4) Enter your BSC account credentials (Username and Password).
5) Your account is now completed.
