📋 Registration

Once your EDH pre-registration (PREG) form has been submitted by the person responsible for your registration and approved by the Users Office, you automatically receive a confirmation of pre-registration. You then need to visit the Users Office to finalise your registration and sign your contract of association.

EDH pre-registration forms are valid for 6 months starting from the date of signature of the Home Institution Declaration (provided the contract end date is also still valid).

Once you have successfully been pre-registered as a User, COAS, VISC or External Participant in an Experiment, your computing account will be automatically activated. More information on Automatic activation of the computing account.
