On-line short course
On-line openGUTS short course. Roman
Ashauer and Tjalling Jager have provided an on-line half-day
short course on the openGUTS software at the virtual SETAC Europe in
May 2020. Since SETAC was virtual that year, we also
had the course on-line, with a mixture of on-demand
lectures, homework exercises, and plenary video sessions.
Tjalling has turned this material into a publicly-available
on-line short course at Leanpub: https://leanpub.com/c/openguts.
This version does not include interaction with the
instructors (so it is completely DIY), but we have added
some quizzes to test your skills with openGUTS. Note that
this course is not free, though it is cheap, and you can
simply obtain a no-questions-asked refund from Leanpub if
you think the course was not worth its price.
Dedicated openGUTS course
Regular GUTS courses. Since
the release of the first version of openGUTS, we have had
the intention to provide a regular, commercial course on
using GUTS in risk assessment of plant protection products.
This course should apply the openGUTS standalone software,
and possibly the Matlab version as well, if there is a
specific interest. So far, however, our intentions have been
thwarted by various issues (a.o., job changes and the corona
crisis), and, we must admit, interest in such a course has
not been overwhelming. Therefore, at the moment, these ideas
are on hold. We have been contemplating various formats,
such as an open course on a teaching location, non-open
courses on-site (e.g., at a regular authorities or companies
premises), or an on-line interactive course. We do love to
hear about your course wishes! If you are interested in an
openGUTS course, please contact Tjalling Jager
(DEBtox Research) by email (also see email address at the
bottom of this page), and tell us what you would like to see
in terms of courses. Given sufficient interest, we'll pick
this up again, and keep you posted if we have more concrete
plans.
Other interesting courses and events
- We have organised the Summerschool on TKTD modelling
again in 2021, in a different format to the previous
runs, and in late autumn. Information
on (previous runs of) this course. (information
about upcoming rounds of the course will be provided
on the linked page)
- Training course on GUTS modelling: from the theory to
the practice. 7-8 June 2022, on-line. More
information. This course will focus on using
MOSAIC and hence analysis in the Bayesian context.
