GroIMP summer school 2025
During the first week of June 2025, we will host a GroIMP summer school in Göttingen. This event will serve to give an introduction to the platform, to help participants getting started with modelling and with their own models, and to give a deeper insight into some specific features.
The summer school is open for those who would like to learn how to work with GroIMP – Growth-grammar related Interactive Modelling Platform – and to write models in the rule-based programming language XL. Particularly, we target M.Sc. and Ph.D. students in Applied Computer Science, Botany, Agriculture, Horticulture or Forest Science with focus on information processing and modelling, but also interested guests from other disciplines.
Date: June 2 - 5, 2025

FSPM and GroIMP tutorials at PMA conference 2025
Version: 2025-11-01, 00:30 (GMT+7)
Along with the 8th International Symposium on Plant Growth Modelling, Simulation, Visualization, and Applications conference (PMA25, modeldata2025.casconf.cn) held during the first week of November 2025 in Nanchang, China, a two-day beginner tutorial on Functional-Structural Plant Modelling (FSPM) using GroIMP will be hosted at the same location right before the conference starts.
The event is intended as a ‘beginner tutorial’ requiring no specific previous knowledge on modelling while basic Java skills are highly welcome for some small practical parts! It will cover a wide range of topics as a general introduction into FSPM, L-Systems and modelling, provide an introduction to the platform, and continue with specific aspects of FSPM and special features of GroIMP.
The tutorial is open for those who would like to learn how to work with GroIMP – Growth-grammar related Interactive Modelling Platform – and to write models in the rule-based programming language XL. Particularly, we target M.Sc. and Ph.D. students in Applied Computer Science, Botany, Agriculture, Horticulture or Forest Science with focus on information processing and modelling, but also interested guests from other disciplines.
Date: November 1st & 2nd, 2025
