Training School 2026: materials
Slides, notebooks and hands-on guides from the Working Group 3 Training School, held in Madrid and online from 30 September to 2 October 2026. Each presenter keeps their materials in a public repository under the CC BY 4.0 licence, and every release of a repository is archived on Zenodo with a DOI, so the materials can be reused and cited.
Sessions marked Materials to come are linked here as soon as their presenters share them.
Repositories
To cite a set of materials, use the DOI of its repository. Until a repository has its first release, cite its GitHub address.
