Minicourses & Tutorials
– a one-of-a-kind learning experience

The suite of Hands-on Minicourses and Tutorial Sessions spans a wide spectrum of applications and tools. Minicourses serve as the perfect start for new users by offering hands-on training introducing you to multiphysics simulation applied to fluid flow, structural mechanics, chemical reactions, electromagnetics and much more. Experienced users have the opportunity to advance their skills in the Tutorial Sessions led by the top modeling minds from COMSOL and our partners.

Feel free to bring your own laptop computer for use during these sessions, and to receive a free trial of COMSOL. Seating and computer-for-loan capacity is limited and available on a first-come first-serve basis.

Our past conference attendees praise the mix of Minicourses & Tutorials:


The ability to network with others and to learn more about how to use the software via the minicourses was what I enjoyed the most about the conference.

...one of the best conferences I have ever attended. Compared to other conferences, I felt I got my money´s worth just from the outstanding plenary talks and the reception. Add to that the chance to hear and interact with other users doing exciting work in fields both similar and different from my own and you would have an outstanding conference. But on top of that, I was able to attend five hands-on mini courses where I learned lots of new tricks of the COMSOL finite element trade. ..
