In order to make use of the e-NMR GRID platform, one needs to obtain a GRID user certificate and register at the e-NMR VO (Virtual Organisation) using that certificate. Always use the same web-browser for requesting, obtaining and registering the personal GRID certificate. Although most web-browsers are suitable, we would recommend to use Mozilla Firefox.
Request a personal GRID certificate:
When from Europe, visit the website of the European GRID Policy Management Authority (EUGridPMA) to find the Certification Authority (CA) of your country. International users can visit the website of the International Grid Trust Federation (IGTF). Users from the US can request a user certificate at the Structural Biology Grid (SBGrid). Direct links to some of the Certificate Authorities in Europe (for a more complete list see the before mentioned links):

To request a first personal GRID certificate one generally needs to identify oneself in person with a passport or drivers licence to a Registration Authority (RA) of the CA.
Register with the e-NMR VO:
Visit the website of the eNMR VO with the web-browser containing your personal GRID certificate. Enter your personal data (name, e-mail address and telephone number) and organisation. You will receive an e-mail to confirm this request. One of the e-NMR VO administrators will approve your request.
Should you encounter problems with your browser, please have a look at this troubleshooting page.
