Excellence\footnote{\href{https://multixscale.eu}{https://multixscale.eu}}) to build a
common stack of optimised scientific software installations for everything from laptops to big HPC systems and cloud
infrastructures. The project uses EasyBuild to install software on top of a compatibility layer, and leverages CernVM-FS to

EESSI is an initiative built on the foundations of the EasyBuild community, which is used by well over 100 HPC sites worldwide
(incl. JSC, CSCS, the Digital Research Alliance of Canada, LUMI, \ldots), and goes one step further by providing a
truly uniform software stack. It already has a wide spectrum of collaborators despite being a relatively young project.
truly uniform software stack. It already has a wide spectrum of collaborators including SURF, BSC, Ghent University, etc.,
despite being a relatively young project.

EESSI is motivated by the observation that the landscape of computational science is changing in various ways.

The guided examples will happen mostly in the proximity of a coffee break allowing the attendees to continue
a bit during the coffee break should they want to and ensuring the maximum benefit from the tutorial.
