NSCC Introductory Workshop for ASPIRE 2A+
This workshop will provide new users with information on the overall setup for the ASPIRE 2A+ system.
Together with a hands-on session, participants will be able to experience the system onboarding process and learn how to submit a job request onto the ASPIRE 2A+ system.
The ASPIRE 2A+ system is significantly different from ASPIRE 2A. To familiarise yourself with the new system, we strongly encourage all team members from each approved project to attend the ASPIRE 2A+ Introductory Workshop.
