NEA Data Bank training

Ongoing

The NEA Data Bank Computer Program Service (CPS) has been conducting training activities for more than 30 years. These courses provide a unique opportunity to bring together code users from around the world, facilitating exchanges on the use of computer programs among users and with the code developers.

What the NEA offers - Catalogue of courses

Training courses and interactive workshops are offered on the most widely used computer programs, by the authors of the codes. They are held in person (at the NEA Headquarters in Paris or in NEA Data Bank participating countries) or online. The language of these events is English. Courses are held in different formats, from half a day to five days of training.
