NSCC Introductory Workshop for ASPIRE2A

This workshop will provide new users with information on the overall setup for the ASPIRE2A 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 ASPIRE2A.

The ASPIRE 2A system differs significantly from ASPIRE 1. To familiarize yourself with the new system, we highly recommend attending the ASPIRE 2A Introductory Workshop.

For all approved projects, it is essential to have at least one team member attend the workshop.
