I came across the VERCE Workshop which I think could be of interest to many within the Seismology Division.
The details provided below are also available on the VERCE website.
Free VERCE training on Forward modelling and data intensive seismology using the VERCE platform.
VERCE is developing a data-intensive e-science environment to enable innovative data analysis and data modelling methods that fully exploit the increasing wealth of open data generated by the observational and monitoring systems of the global seismology community.

Two training events will be held in March and July to give an overview involving the computational resources that VERCE supports. The aim of these training events is to give a hands-on experience running full waveform models through the VERCE platform and using large data sets, so that you can incorporate these computationally intense methods into your research.
The workshops include:
- Introduce you to the VERCE forward modelling platform.
- Get you to run a full waveform model through the portal using specFEM.
- Introduce you to dispel4py, a tool for handling very large seismological data sets.
- Example of dispel4py for noise correlation of a large data set, or large misfit calculations.
More advanced users will also be able to
- Test meshes and velocity models in the VERCE portal.
- Set up new workflows within the portal to support their own work.
- Write bespoke dispel4py scripts to deal with their own specific use cases.
This material will be covered in two training workshops, in Munich, Germany (9th-11th March 2015) and Liverpool, UK (1st-3rd July 2015).
