The MICRESS® team has the pleasure to announce an upcoming MICRESS® training. The goal of the tutorial is to help students and researchers from the field of computational materials science to get started with microstructure simulations. Training participants will be introduced by experts in the field to the use of MICRESS® in order to gain hands-on experience that can directly be applied to their own research. The training will be held online. All lectures will be held via WebEx Training.
The training is divided into two parts:
Scientists from both academia and industry are encouraged to register for the training. Participation in the event is free of charge. Registration for the first overview or for both parts is possible. The number of remote computers for hands-on is limited.
System requirements:
A Windows system with a standard browser is necessary to participate to this training. The WebEx Training interface has only very limited support for Linux systems. Use the WebEx App if you want to attend the hands-on sessions. During login portable versions of the WebEx Meeting app and WebEx AnyConnect client will be installed.
For the best hands-on experience, a head-set and a larger screen is recommended. There will be the opportunity for private audio channels with the tutors.
