EESSI Happy Hour sessions (Mondays, 14:00–15:00 CEST)

provided by EuroHPC CoE MultiXscale

What if you no longer have to install a broad range of scientific software from scratch on every laptop, HPC cluster, or cloud instance you use or maintain, without compromising on performance?

The European Environment for Scientific Software Installations (EESSI, https://eessi.io) comes to the rescue!

Join us for EESSI Happy Hour, an informal, weekly online session to explore and discuss key EESSI topics and updates with the community.

Each series will focus on a specific main topic over several sessions, giving participants the opportunity to ask questions, get hands-on guidance, and share experiences.

🧭 Where? Link will be shared soon.

💬 Who should join? Everyone interested in EESSI.

Let’s make Mondays productive and collaborative — see you at Happy Hour!

All sessions will be recorded. Recordings, slides, and materials used will be made publicly available shortly after each session via this page.

If you have any questions regarding these sessions, please send an email to support@eessi.io.

Format

• Online sessions (via Zoom)
• Mix of presentation & hands-on demos: ~15min of content, ~30min for Q&A
