-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.
+Installing scientific software for supercomputers is known to be a tedious and time-consuming task.

-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.
+This tutorial aims to address these challenges by introducing the European Environment for Scientific Software Installations
+(EESSI, pronounced as \emph{``easy"}), a collaboration between various European HPC sites \& industry partners. The goal of EESSI is to provide
+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 is a full size HPC
+cluster, a virtual machine in the cloud, or a personal workstation.
 
 We cover the basics of EESSI, different use cases for 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.
