Given the large interest in the course, we consider having a next online course before next summer. We also noticed that we had a large number of applicants who had a very specific interest in NCA. One group was interested in the relationship between NCA and QCA, and another group in the use of NCA in practice. We are now considering having a special online course, workshop or event for these groups of people, in addition to the general course.

Please let us know if that would also interest you. You can contact us at nca.communication@erim.eur.nl
