+# NRIS Talks : Webinar on Introduction to VASP and how to run VASP calculation NRIS Clusters
+
+NRIS(Norwegian Research Infrastructure Services) is organising  webinars as part of it's outreach program **NRIS Talks**.
+This time, we will explore how to effectively utilize the Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package (VASP) on supercomputers. This workshop is primarily designed for beginners and intermediate users at various levels, with an emphasis on best practices for conducting VASP calculations on NRIS clusters. This webinar content is based on the VASP best practices workshop materials developed by ENCCS and NSC. 
+
+## Webinar Details
+
+- **Date:** 23rd January 2025
+- **Time:** 13:00 - 14:00
+- **Duration:** 60 minutes

+# NRIS Talks: Webinar on  how to train machine learning models on VASP
+
+NRIS(Norwegian Research Infrastructure Services) is organising  webinars as part of it's outreach program **NRIS Talks**.
+This is a follow up of the previous one {ref}`NRIS Talks: Introduction to VASP`.In this webinar we will give an introduction 
+to machine learning potentials on VASP. We will give guidance on when to use them and how to develop them properly. A tutorial for fine tuning a foundation model (MACE) will be given, along with caveats on validation and accuracy.
