[NLPL Infrastructure] [CSC #479616] Access to Puhti

[Martin Matthiesen]

Hello,

I should add that I am not involved with EOSC-Nordic directly, so I can't say much about eligibility, but otherwise I think Stephan's approach makes sense: Get a project via EOSC-N and add NLPL rights to it.

Regards,
Martin
