Software Training Workshops

Training Workshops Unidata holds software training workshops in Boulder, Colorado, at Unidata Community institutions, and at scientific conferences to train users in the use of Unidata-supported software. The training and tutorial information used during Unidata's training workshops are available online as a resource to our community.

Regional workshops are sponsored by particular institutions in the Unidata Community and provide opportunity to utilize Unidata software and data. If your institution is interested in having Unidata staff conduct a workshop, please contact the Workshop Coordinator.
