The RAMSES SNO is pleased to announce its first RAMSES school for developers. This school will take place in Lyon from 2pm on Dec. 9 to 5pm on Dec. 12, 2025. It is designed to provide a thorough and practical introduction to the inner workings of the RAMSES code and is addressed to experienced users who wish to step up and develop their own models within RAMSES.
The school will start with a mix of lectures and exercises that cover most aspects of the code, and will end, if time allows, with a few projects where students will be guided to implement various features that are typical developments.
The lectures and exercises will cover the following topics.
git for RAMSES
General architecture of the code
Data structures
Particles
Parameters, initialisations, and outputs
MPI communications
Particle-cell interactions
Miscelaneous things (cooling, passive scalars, boundary conditions,...)
Refinement schemes
The school can host no more than 8 participants and in order to make a fair selection, we ask candidates to provide upon registration a short description of the project they have in line with RAMSES, and a short summary of their experience in numerical astrophysics and with RAMSES. We will close registration onNov. 9, 2025.
Note that the school is open to any professional astrophysicist (PhD, postdoc, engineer, researcher). Given our constraints and sponsors, we may have to prioritize applicants from French research labs, but will happily welcome more distant candidates until the school is full.
