 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

 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 tools to \emph{stream} the optimised
+scientific software they need. 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

 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.
