Around Opus : Formations

Various formations and training programs are available around Opus, such as:

  • Training program ’Vers une démarche Incertitudes’. Set up by the IMdR working group ’Incertitudes et Industrie’, this training program is nowadays hosted by the Laboratoire Nationale de Métrologie et d”Essai (LNE) and it is now part of its permanent training offer.
  • ERCOFTAC Course on Uncertainty Quantification. Inspired by the results of the European project NODESIM-CFD (Non Deterministic Simulations in CFD), the scientific society ERCOFTAC (European Research Community On Flow, Turbulence And Combustion) organizes since 2011 a two-days awareness course on ’Uncertainty Management and Quantification in Industrial Analysis and Design’. This course is specifically intended to CFD communities, and it is a good vector to spread the common vision of uncertainty analysis and, at the same time, getting back new valuable requirements, inputs and viewpoints. Such courses were held in Germany and USA-Virginia.
  • Professional training about uncertainty analysis at EDF. Through its Institute of Technology Transfer (ITech), the R&D Unit of EDF organizes several training courses which covers the wide range of the company’s business areas, such as risk management and operating safety, scientific computing, nuclear energy, hydraulics, ecology, energy markets, statistics and data analysis. The current ITech training program is made up of 23 courses; most take place in EDF R&D facilities, once or twice a year. The courses, led by EDF R&D engineers and technicians, are rooted into the reality of EDF’s business and mainly intended to EDF’s researchers and engineers. However, a great number of them are open to participants which are external to the company. In particular, it is the case for two courses about uncertainty analysis. These courses are largely inspired by the work led in both internal and external projects (like OPUS).
  • The Maison de la Simulation offers a Parallel sparse linear algebra formation, in collaboration with  CERFACS et Inria, within the framework of Equip@meso project. It will take place in INRIA Bordeaux Sud-Ouest, from 11-28-2011 to 02-12-2011. See website and pdf presentation.
