Isambard-AI workshop at the Alan Turing Institute¶
The Bristol Centre for Supercomputing (BriCS) and The Alan Turing Institute are running a joint 1-day introductory workshop on Isambard-AI at Enigma 2.0, The Alan Turing Institute, British Library, 96 Euston Rd, London, NW1 2DB on Thursday, 12th March 2026.
The workshop is open to participants from UK research organisations (e.g. universities, NHS bodies, research institutes) and industry (UK registered business of any size with a Companies House registration number).
In order to take part in the workshop and gain access to the system, you must pre-register by filling in the following form by 5PM on Monday the 9th March 2026:
Warning
If you have not pre-registered you will not be able to access the system on the day.
You must register with your institutional or professional email address. Strong compliance rules mean that invitations to personal email addresses (e.g. Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook) are not allowed.
Required pre-workshop steps¶
You will receive an email from [email protected] with the subject "Invitation to the BriCS-Turing Workshop 2026 project".
After registration and receiving the invite, you will be contacted with some steps to do before the workshop. You should follow steps 1-4 after you receive an invitation email.
If you have an account with a research institute supported by MyAccessID (you can check this at https://mms.myaccessid.org/fed-apps/profile/) then you should use this option. When logging in to any Isambard services, you should always choose "University Login (MyAccessID)". If not, check the "Non-research affiliation" tab.
If your institution or company does not support EduGAIN/MyAccessID as a federated login solution, we will have to create you an account in our "identity provider of last resort" (hosted in AWS).
You will receive an email from [email protected] with the subject "Invitation to join AWS IAM Identity Center" asking you to finalise creating an account, using the same email address that you signed up for the workshop.
Once that account is set up and working, from now on when working with Isambard you should always select the "Other Login (IdP of last resort)" option on the login screen.
Warning
You must complete the required pre-workshop steps and set your UNIX username in advance of the workshop.
Access will not be allowed for online attendees. You must attend the workshop in person. You should promptly inform us if you can no longer attend the workshop by emailing us.
This workshop has been allocated a finite amount of compute time to be shared between all participants. Users must not run long-running or large-scale jobs before the workshop and should use the resources as instructed during the workshop.

The workshop will include hands-on sessions delivered by BriCS and the Turing. An agenda for the day can be found here.
