[gate-users] Training courses on GEANT4, GATE ? Training Centres?

[Manuel Bardiès]

Thanks Sophie,

Actually, since the Bordeaux event is a Geant4 training course, I was  
wondering if we should not try to setup a Gate only event, after that  
course, for those in need of specific Gate (mastering and programming)  
knowledge.
Certainly something to discuss in the next SC.
It would be interresting to know how many people would be interrested  
in such a course, and try to define what we should put in it.
Cheers,

Manu

> The conference will be divided into three parts :
> * a 2.5 day user plenary session dedicated to Geant4 simulations with a
> strong interest at the physics-medicine-biology frontier. In  
> particular, the
> following topics will be addressed:
> - review of simulation applications for medicine
> - validation of Geant4 models for medical physics
> - simulation of radiotherapy and irradiation setups (beams, heads, ...)
> - treatment planning in radiotherapy
> - dosimetry
> - parallelisation
> - imaging techniques (GATE, PET, ...)
> - data handling (DICOM)
> - related GRID developments and applications
> - the Geant4 DNA project and related Monte Carlo tools
> Users will also have the opportunity to present their applications

> * a 1 day new-user short course presenting Geant4 latest version to new
> comers (providing the attendees with a CD-ROM).
> * The traditional 4-day Geant4 collaboration workshop accessible by
