Eutopia Academy for students and post-docs on tools in computational biophysics
Organizers: Davide Michieletto, Samuela Pasquali, Pawel Dabrowski-Tumanski
We are proud to launch the EUTOPIA Academy, a series of online events for software training dedicated to all members of the network (especially early career investigators) who are looking to learn specific pieces of software that are relevant for the investigation of topological signatures. The aim of these events is to go through these software in detail and step-by-step, from download to execution.
The Academy will be held on-line, each last Thursday and Friday of the month, February-June 2021. The link to the on-line event will be provided to all registered participants. The registration form will be sent via the Eutopia mailing list before each event. Alternatively, please ask directly to the organizers.
