Go to https://aai.egi.eu/signup. This will show you the identity provider discovery page: browse through the list of Identity Providers to find your Home Organisation, or, alternatively, type the name of your Home Organisation in the search box. Note that the names are localised based on the selected language.
Enter your login credentials to authenticate yourself with your Home Organisation
After successful authentication, you may be prompted by your Home Organisation to consent to the release of personal information to the EGI AAI Service Provider Proxy.
After successful authentication, you will be redirected to the EGI account registration form. On the introductory page, click Begin to start the registration process.
EGI requires some basic information from you, depending on the attributes released by your Identity Provider, you may need to provide the values of the missing attributes.
On the registration form, click Review Terms and Conditions (Acceptable Use Policy and Conditions of Use - EGI AUP)
