Request a Slices account

You can request an account on the Slices Portal located at https://portal.slices-ri.eu

Click on Sign Up to request a new account.

If you are an academic researcher or student, you can use your institution’s account to login and create a Slices account. If you are an industrial researcher - or when your institution doesn’t participate in EduGAIN - you can create a local account by filling in the form.

After accepting the Terms and Conditions, you will be asked to either Join an existing project or Start a new project.

Slices has the concept of Projects which bundle multiple experimenters (and experiments). In a Project, the project lead or project administrators can approve new experimenters for that project, without Slices administrators needing to approve this. The project lead has a responsibility for the new members they bring in.

If you have been invited to a Project, just click Join Existing Project (or you might have received a specific URL). If not, you can create your own new project by clicking Start New Project.

If you created a local account, you will need to verify your email address by clicking on the link provided in the email before the sign up process continues.

The next step is that a Slices administrator or project administrator approves your request. This is manual work, so it might take some time. You will receive an email when that is done. After that, you can login on the authority portal and continue with using any of the Slices Services.
