for use in astrophysical N-body simulations. Topics covered will include:

* A hands-on introduction to setting up and running codes such as GADGET, NBODY6 and SWIFT;
* Generating initial conditions for planetary, star cluster, galaxy and cosmology simulations;
* Introduction to publicly available analysis and visualisation tools;
* Hands-on programming classes to analyse data produced by the codes.

The summer school will be open to all advanced undergraduate, honours and PhD
students as well as active Astronomy and Astrophysics researchers within
Australia and New Zealand. Be aware that numbers may be limited and so when
allocating spaces priority will be given to students. Registration and website will be
