+What if there was a way to avoid having to install a broad range of scientific software from scratch on every HPC
+cluster or cloud instance you use or maintain, without compromising on performance?
+
+Installing scientific software for supercomputers is known to be a tedious and time-consuming task. Especially as the
+HPC user community becomes more diverse, computational science expands rapidly, the diversity of system architectures
+increases the application software stack continues to deepen. Simultaneously, we see a surge in interest in cloud
+computing for scientific computing. Delivering optimised software installations and providing access to these
+installations in a reliable, user-friendly, and reproducible way is a highly non-trivial task that affects application
+developers, HPC user support teams, and the users themselves.
+
+This tutorial aims to address these challenges by providing the attendees with the knowledge to stream optimised
+scientific software. For this, the tutorial introduces European Environment for Scientific Software Installations
+(\emph{EESSI}), a collaboration between various European HPC sites \& industry partners, with the common goal of
+creating a shared repository of scientific software installations that can be used on a variety of systems, regardless
+of which flavor/version of Linux distribution or processor architecture is used, or whether it’s a full size HPC
+cluster, a cloud environment or a personal workstation.
+
+We cover the usage of EESSI, different ways to accessing EESSI, how to add software to EESSI, and highlight some more 
+advanced features. We will also show how to engage with the community and contribute to the project.

+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

+This tutorial is intended for
+\begin{itemize}
+    \item End users who want to empower themselves to use a uniform software stack without compromising on
+          performance, on top of what is provided centrally by the HPC support team;
+    \item System managers, administrators and user support teams, responsible for the operational aspects of HPC systems and concerned about
+          hardware optimised scientific software installations;
+%     \item user support teams who need to provide a consistent central software stack for end users, and want to do so in
+%           a reproducible way;
+    \item Cloud and CI users, who want to use a common stack of optimised scientific software installations;
+    \item System manufacturers and integrators interested in state-of-the-art software installation tools, who want to
+          leverage the collective expertise incorporated in EasyBuild and EESSI.
