In conjunction with the first release of the EuroHPC Federation Platform (EFP), that was announced earlier in April, a series of introductory webinars are organised in which more details will be shared about the platform.
- Introducing the EuroHPC Federation Platform by Henrik Nortamo, Balázs Szakmáry (CSC – IT Center for Science) – (slides + recording available)
- EFP Federated Software Catalogue by Kenneth Hoste, Alan O’Cais (Ghent University) – (slides + recording available)
- EFP Interactive by Robin Karlsson (CSC – IT Center for Science) – (slides + recording available)
- 29 Apr 2026, 14:00 CEST: EFP Authentication & Authorization Infrastructure (AAI)
- 21 May 2026, 14:00 CEST: EFP Workflows
Each session is a Zoom webinar that consists of a short presentation (~30min), featuring hands-on demonstrations to showcase various aspects. There will be time at the end of each session for Q&A. These sessions are open for anyone to attend, but registration is required.

Upcoming webinars
EFP Authentication & Authorization Infrastructure (AAI)
Date: Wed 29 April 2026 14:00-15:00 CEST | Speaker: Josh Howlett (GÉANT)
In this webinar, we will cover the Authentication & Authorization Infrastructure (AAI) component of the EuroHPC Federation Platform (EFP). We will outline how it leverages the existing MyAccessID Identity and Access Management Service provided by GÉANT. EFP AAI will significantly facilate accessing the existing EuroHPC infrastructure, since a single federated identity can be used to access not only EFP itself, but also access integrated EuroHPC systems directly via SSH using short-lived certificates.
EFP Workflows
Date: Thu 21 May 2026 14:00-15:00 CEST | Speaker: Martin Golasowski (IT4I)
This webinar will provide a short introduction to the EFP Workflows based on the LEXIS Platform. It allows users to describe and execute a computing workflow across multiple systems at once, including distributed data management and staging capabilities. EFP Workflows provides a web interface, an API, as well as a command-line client. Users will be able to build their workflows using one of the pre-defined templates, or define custom ones either in a graphical builder interface or using an YAML-based syntax. Leveraging the common EFP AAI and Allocations components available on connected HPC centers, so users can easily define and execute complex computing worfklows spanning multiple systems.
