Circulate wide and far:

https://www.archer2.ac.uk/training/courses/210823-firedrake/

A few bits of additional information I have found from signing up to an ARCHER2 course:

  • You have to give your nationality as part of the sign up
  • Whilst there is no registration fee, there is a "fine" for not showing up, unless you inform the helpdesk in advance
