Metronamica - "Land use modelling with Metronamica"

Metronamica

“Land use modelling with Metronamica”

Since the first release of the Metronamica land use modeling software in
1998, RIKS has organized many customized workshops and training courses to
educate users on how to work with the package: how to fill it with data,
run simulations, interpret results and integrate Metronamica into a wider
modeling toolchain. Most of this training was given to users who already
had some basic knowledge of land use modeling or Metronamica itself, and
was focused on specific applications or projects. After many requests for
an introductory course that deals with the Metronamica fundamentals, we
developed the “Land use modeling with Metronamica” course to meet those
requests.

In this 2-day course, the following topics will be covered:

* Land use modeling: real-world applications
* What is Metronamica?
* How does Metronamica work?
* Setting up a Metronamica application for a new region
* Running simulations and interpreting results
* Integrating Metronamica with other models

There will be plenty of time to discuss land use modeling in general and
any specific modeling project you may have in mind or are already working
on, and how Metronamica can play a role in those projects.

The course will be held on June 1st and 2nd 2010 at the RIKS offices in
Maastricht, the Netherlands. Course fee is €500 not including VAT, meals
and lodging. To subscribe, please send an email to [email protected] with
your name, affiliation and number of people attending, and whether you’d
like assistance with finding a hotel in Maastricht. We will contact you to
discuss payment options.

Of course, feel free to forward this invitation to all people you think
are interested in learning more about land use modeling with Metronamica!

Thank you for your time and I hope to meet you in June!
