+Can we avoid having to install a broad range of scientific software from scratch on every HPC cluster or
+cloud instance we use without compromising on performance?
+
+Installing scientific software for supercomputers is typically a tedious, time-consuming task (especially as the
+HPC user community becomes more diverse, computational science expands, system architecture diversity increases, the
+application software stack deepens and interest in cloud computing for scientific research surges).
+Delivering optimised software installations, and providing access to them reliably and reproducibly,
+is a highly non-trivial task impacting application developers, HPC user support, and users themselves.
+
+This tutorial will show attendees how they can stream optimized scientific software instead.
+The tutorial introduces the European Environment for Scientific Software Installations (\emph{EESSI}), a collaboration
+between European HPC sites \& industry partners, with the common goal of creating a shared repository of scientific
+software installations usable on a variety of systems, regardless of Linux flavour or processor architecture, or
+whether it's a full size HPC cluster, the cloud, or a desktop.
+
+We cover the usage of EESSI, different access methods, adding software to EESSI, and highlight some advanced features.
+We also show how to engage with the community and contribute back.

+\subsection*{Expected attendance}
+
+Based on attendance at previous EESSI and EasyBuild events, including the yearly EasyBuild User Meetings (over 30
+attendees in the last physical edition in 2023, close to 100 in 2021 and 2022 in an online setting) and previous
+related tutorials (PRACE-VI-SEEM 2017 Spring School with 25-30 attendees, a free online EasyBuild tutorial in June'20
+with about 100 attendees, the half-day ISC'21 tutorial with over 25 attendees, and the in-person (half-day) ISC'22
+EasyBuild tutorial with about 20 attendees, and an online EESSI tutorial in Dec'23 had over 130 registrations), we
+anticipate this EESSI tutorial to be well attended with 20-50 attendees.
+
+%KH I would've gone with 50/25/25, but this works too (maybe better even)
+% MG: This was just a blind guess ;)
+%KH seems about right I think, we want to keep it beginner-oriented, 25% advanced may be too much... maybe 50/30/20 is less awkward?
+% I love how 'awkward' is such an awkward word to type... :D (no, haven't had beer yet)
+
+% KH: Markus, I'm signing off for tonight... I'll be around tomorrow, definitely in the morning (have a student intern to keep busy in the afternoon, but I'll be around on Slack)
+%MG: Yea, I will also stop working soon
+
+% KH: do we need anything from Maxime? It's probably good to tell him that now, since he'll only be around after 1-2pm tomorrow.
+%MG: For the submission, we'll need a short bio (some text) For Alan and the two of us, I will copy from last year unless I receive an update.
+% KH I already asked him for a bio. And a picture. I'll mail that too. => DONE
