Affiliation
What is affiliation?
Affiliation is a way of confirming the possibility of performing certain operations, such as using a specific offer and purchasing a service by the user. Specific because, for example, only students can take advantage of the offer for students, so they must have a student affiliation.

In order to verify your scientific affiliation and your account on the PRACE-LAB portal, you are required to provide contact details.
