Update: links to presentation files have been added to the agenda.
If you missed it, but would like to attend a future workshop, please reach out to Eliot or Ian so that we can add you to the wait list.
Date: Nov 19 - 21, 2024
Location: Pacific Forestry Centre
This workshop will be in person. We will be 4 people who have worked with SpaDES and ecological models: Eliot McIntire, Ian Eddy, Celine Boisvenue, and Camille Giuliano.
Agenda
“WOYO”, Work On Your Own + health breaks
In each session you will have time to work through the examples and take breaks. We will be present in the room for the entire WOYO period, responding to questions and encouraging discussion. The last 15min of each WOYO will be discussion.
All times in Pacific Daylight Time (GMT-7)
Presentation slides will be added at the end of each day.
