We are pleased to announce Croatian edition of the Open-source Scientific Computing in Structural Dynamics Conference and Summer School which will take place in June 25-26, 2026.
The Summer School was originally organised by Prof. Janko Slavič in 2019 to promote and accelerate open source-based research in the field of structural dynamics. This is the Croatian edition, organised with the assistance of the
Laboratory for Dynamics of Machines and Structures from the University of Ljubljana – FME.
Summer school will focus on open-source effort related to the Python programming language.
The summer school will accept up to 15 attendees per track (first-come, first-serve basis).
Event program

Course accreditation
Attendees have the option to obtain 2 ECTS.
What to expect
At the summer school we will help you to understand how the open-source community operates and how to write open-source code so that it can be used by other researchers. Summer school attendees will receive the full source code of the summer school.
Three tracks are planned (see preliminary program).
The course language is English.
Prior knowledge
The summer school will heavily depend on the programming language Python.
Basic knowledge of Python is expected. The users of Matlab should be able to quickly catch up.
