Join us for a lunch-to-lunch SimPro Workshop at the University of South-Eastern Norway (USN), taking place October 23–24. This event brings together researchers from the SimPro network to explore current work on simulation-based training and assessment in healthcare, firefighting, and maritime domains.

The workshop will feature presentations of work-in-progress from SimPro members from USN, NTNU, GU and LiU, and foster cross-disciplinary dialogue on the role of simulations in professional education. A highlight of the program is a guided tour of USN’s state-of-the-art simulation facilities, an opportunity to experience firsthand how maritime simulators support the development of professional skills.
