Elmer/Ice Course - 14 and 15 February 2008
LGGE CNRS/UJF Grenoble I (France) - CSC (Finland)
Organisation
LGGE and CSC are organising an informal course on Elmer/Ice at LGGE (France) during February 14 and 15, 2008. The course will be held by Olivier Gagliardini [OG] from LGGE and Thomas Zwinger [TZ] from CSC. The participation is free of charge. The participants have to organise and pay their travel (1) and their stay (2) in Grenoble (see remarks at bottom of page). LGGE and CSC are covering the fees for the venue and the travel costs of Thomas Zwinger.
If possible, participants should bring their own laptop, preferably with Elmer and a C, C++ and Fortran 90 compiler (with emphasis on Fortran) installed on it. Installation instructions are to be found from CSC's web services under the URL http://www.csc.fi/elmer. In case of problems, contact Thomas Zwinger (thomas.zwinger[at]csc.fi) on technical details concerning installation or compilation.
