An in-person FLUKA course at the beginner level will be hosted at the site of the Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) in Prague, Czech Republic. This training offers students and professionals working on radiation physics problems an introduction to the various capabilities of FLUKA, a general-purpose code for Monte Carlo simulations of radiation transport in complex geometries, making use of the functionalities of the Flair3 user interface.
This course will take place from 18 to 22 May 2026.
Requirements
No previous experience with FLUKA or similar Monte Carlo codes is required. However, basic knowledge of Linux and the ability to navigate a directory tree and locate/copy/move files are necessary.
Participants are expected to bring their own laptop and to verify beforehand that the latest versions of both FLUKA and Flair have been installed, so that they can participate in the practical sessions. There will be no time during the course to debug personal installations. A few weeks prior to the course, an installation check script will be made available to verify that the software and all its dependencies are correctly set up on your machine.
We strongly recommend that participants come equipped with a mouse in order to easily navigate the Flair graphical interface and particularly the geometry editor.
Do not forget that you should be a registered FLUKA.CERN user in order to download the code and participate in the course. You can find the relevant instructions here.
Course Fee
The course fee amounts to 450 EUR for academic users and 1550 EUR for commercial users. It includes participation to the course, social dinner as well as coffee breaks and lunches.
Registration and Payment
The registration procedure shall be carried out via the ELI Indico website, and is subject to prior approval. To maximise your chances of approval, we encourage you to apply well in advance. The course fee will be collected directly from ELI.
