ETSAP Training
IEA-ETSAP offers training courses at the introductory, intermediate and advanced levels to introduce new users to its model generators and user interfaces. If you are interested, please post your intentions (with expectations) on the forum where groups of potential participants can form in different parts of the world.
Starting in 2017 ETSAP established the Tosato Grant which will provide financial support for trainees from less developed countries to attend ETSAP’s training courses and the ETSAP workshop. The allocation of funds will be decided by the O.A. and the Chair, based on requests submitted though the registration form below.
