FAQ

  • Do I need to create an account on simulations-plus.learnupon.com to attend the Spring School?
    Yes, this year’s Spring School will be given on the Learn Upon platform, which will provide the links to live sessions, the material for download, and the recordings. You need to create an account, add the Spring School to the cart and validate it. The event is free so no payement will be needed and the cart will show $0. Please use your professional email address (academic or industry) in order to validate your affiliation.
  • I participated in the 1st and/or 2nd edition of the Pharmacometrics Spring School with MonolixSuite. Do you recommend to participate in the 3rd edition?
    In the 3rd edition of the spring school we will use the new release of the MonolixSuite: 2023R1. We will show some of its new features. The main content of the lectures and the hands-on sessions will be the same as in the previous editions, so if you feel confident with this material there is no need to participate in the school this year. However, you can always take advantage of the live chat and Q&A with the Lixoft team during the lecture sessions.
  • Do I need the MonolixSuite installed on my computer?
    You can listen to the lecture without having MonolixSuite installed. However, you do need it if you want to practice MonolixSuite between sessions with the hands-on exercises.
  • How to install the MonolixSuite?
    All information about the installation can be found in the download webpage.
  • Which version of MonolixSuite can I use?
    Teachers will be using the MonolixSuite2023R1 version, but you will be able to complete most of the exercises with the 2021R2 version. The training material will contain all projects compatible with the 2023R1 as well as 2021R2 version.
