Welcome! Happy to have you in the team. Here are some useful things to do on your first day. If you find that things have changed, can you please update the wiki the reflect the new procedures. Most of what is below is for students/employees but visitors may also find some of the information useful.

Much of the information on getting set up is kept on the SIMaP wiki which is unfortunately only accessible on the internal network (or a VPN) so, unless you already have access to a desktop computer plugged into the network you will not be able to see the contents.

Our lab (SIMaP) is part of the Grenoble-INP engineering school and so most people will get a @grenoble-inp.fr email address (possibly in addition to another one from your employer). Sylvie will normally arrange for a member of the IT team to come see if with your credentials, but if this does not happen feel free to email the informatics hotline sos-info@simap.grenoble-inp.fr. Let them know your name and office number, and they will come and help you when they have time.

To access your Grenoble-INP email you can go to https://webmail.grenoble-inp.fr/.

Once your informatics account is set up you can connect your laptop or phone to eduroam (great to do it now so it is set up for when you travel). The easiest way to do this is to use the configuration assistant tool.

To be able to go on conferences, etc, you need to be in the expenses system. How this works depends on your employer (and your source of funds).

You will need to be entered into a backend system called SIFAC so that you can access Notilus. First try going to Notilus and try logging in with your UGA credentials (username is [LAST NAME][FIRST INITIAL] e.g. uhrinm). If you get an error, you will need to (Fabienne Fonseca)[fabienne.fonseca@grenoble-inp.fr], attach the RIB from your bank and explain to her that you would like to be added to SIFAC so you can use Notilus.

On the first day, you will probably get a temporary badge for accessing the lab building from your HR. If you have finished your registration and signed the work contract, you could drop by the building called “Doctoral college of the Grenoble Alpes University” see on the Google map https://maps.app.goo.gl/1TW4Fg1fxtNKCc218, where the people at the reception will help you print your official card. Usually, this card is not activated for entering you own lab building. You need to get back to your HR for the activation and return the temprorary card.
