Major Training Events Sample Clauses

Major Training Events. The next conference on the Virtual Physiological Human, VPH2018, will be held in September 2018 in Zaragoza, Spain (in M24 of the project). We consider this to be a major event for at least a part of our community and CompBioMed will have a strong presence. We will organise our first training event alongside or during this event (details to be finalised). Although this is the first event, we will open it up for external users, as described in the DoA for the second training event. Partner BSC organises yearly winter schools, and we intend to align our second event with their 2018/2019 winter school (in M28, slightly in advance of M30 of the project). The objective of the winter school is to give a panorama on the use of HPC-based computational mechanics in Engineering and Environment through the projects BSC are carrying out. This panorama includes a survey of the basics underpinning the main tools: computational mechanics and parallelization. We are considering hosting an additional event alongside the 2017/2018 winter school at BSC, but this will depend upon available resources and will be balanced against the bi-monthly seminars that we also wish to provide. We will explore this option at the forthcoming All Hands Meeting of the consortium, which is planned for 11-12 April 2017. All events will be recorded and, where possible, the recordings will be enriched with teaching material and hands-on exercises, then made freely available (through an appropriate platform) as MOOCs.
