I came up with this question on the AiiDA Slack channel and reporting here what discussed.

There is now a plugin available for this purpose: **[aiida-hyperqueue](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-hyperqueue)**.

In short: the HyperQueue program will handle the submission to SLURM batching multiple jobs for you.  
For more details, consult the aiida-hyperqueue and HyperQueue docs.

Thanks for reformulating your question here, @bastonero! Feedback is definitely most welcome, I’ve only tested the plugin on one of the supercomputers we use at CSCS, and I know setting the correct Slurm options can be tricky and depend on the Slurm configuration.
