Trainings, Workshops & Webinars

Information on basic trainings

Basic trainings, offered at least twice a year in person alongside ETSAP’s semi-annual workshops, introduce new users to the TIMES modelling framework and provide hands-on practice with VEDA-TIMES for building and running models. Online versions of the basic trainings are also offered throughout the year, depending on demand. Groups of potential participants may additionally request in person special sessions in different parts of the world by contacting George Giannakidis with their interest and expectations.

Tosato Grant !

Since 2017, ETSAP has offered the Tosato Grant to support trainees from less developed countries in attending ETSAP trainings and workshops. Funding decisions are made by the Project Head (George Giannakidis) and the Operating Agent (Kathleen Vaillancourt), based on requests and availability of funds. Interested applicants should email a short description of their scientific interests and how they plan to use ETSAP tools.
