Workshop Series: Using the Amsterdam Modeling Suite in HPC Systems, 16-29 March

The organization SURF is hosting a training course comprising four different afternoon sessions on March 16, 21, 23, and 29. After an overview of the Amsterdam Modeling Suite, its basic usage will be demonstrated in a series of hands-on exercises that allow you to easily follow along. In the subsequent events of this series, a group of renowned researchers, will show how to use the Amsterdam Modeling Suite for research in their field of expertise, followed by further hands-on sessions. Do not miss this exciting opportunity and sign up today!
