The RAMSES SNO is pleased to announce its third RAMSES school for new users. This school will take place at Observatoire Astronomique de Strasbourg, 27-29 October 2026, and is designed to provide practical training for new users of the RAMSES code who wish to learn how to design and run simulations for their science projects.

The school will provide a core training on basic usage of HPC environments and fundamental instruction on obtaining, compiling, and running the RAMSES code in parallel. Participants will then focus on practical applications through hands-on projects. A list of projects spanning diverse areas (dense-core collapse, forced-turbulence, idealized galaxies, and cosmological volumes) will be provided for participants to select according to their scientific interests.

The training will be supervised by Tine Colman, Maxime Trebitsch, Benoit Commerçon, Yohan Dubois, Joakim Rosdahl and Pierre Ocvirk. Participants will use local computational resources.

 

The school can host a limited number of participants and in order to make a fair selection, we ask candidates to provide upon registration a short description of the project they have in line with RAMSES, and a very short summary of their experience in numerical astrophysics. We will close registration on Sept. 15, 2026.

Note that the school is open to anyone (PhD students, postdocs, engineers or faculty).

There is no registration fee.
