This session is your ideal starting point to discover EGI and see how its services support real-world research and innovation!

EGI is your gateway to a powerful global network of computing resources, data analytics tools, and expert support.
We empower researchers, innovators, and educators to break boundaries in their fields.

In the first part of this EGI101 session, you will gain a clear understanding of what EGI is, how the federation operates, and the role it plays within the European and global research landscape. We will introduce the core concepts behind EGI’s service delivery model, explain how users access resources, and provide an overview of the communities and projects that benefit from EGI services.

The second part, EGI Services in Action, moves from concepts to practical examples. Through demonstrations and real-world use cases, you will see how researchers and organisations leverage EGI services to run large-scale computations, manage and share data, deploy scientific applications, and enable collaborative research. These examples will showcase the breadth of EGI’s portfolio and show how different services can be combined to address diverse research needs across disciplines.

Whether you are a researcher, data scientist, research support professional, project manager, or simply curious about EGI, this session will provide a solid foundation and practical insights to help you navigate and benefit from the EGI ecosystem.
