PERIODIC Calendar of Conferences, Courses & Contacts
Posted: Sat May 01, 2004 10:36 am
This calendar is a listing of system dynamics (SD) related Conferences, Chapter Meetings and stand alone short courses open to the general public without any restrictions. It is not intended as a listing of Universities or Colleges offering SD as part of degree or diploma programs. It should be of interest to anyone keen to know more or keep informed about SD - both new-comers and experts.
If you are offering courses that teach system dynamics & simulation, or courses that are built around a system dynamics simulation model or microworld, please email Tony Gill the information <Tony.Gill@phrontis.com> so he can include it in the monthly posting. Please use the same format as below for your posting so that I can quickly copy and paste. You should also update your course listings periodically. Please do not ask or expect me to check your web sites to get current details - I do not have the luxury of time for this. I aim to update and publish the list about the first Friday/Saturday of each Month. If you have details to post I need to have them by the previous Friday just in case I post early due to other commitments.
