OpenSim Workshop at ESB 2017 OpenSim Fellows Friedl De Groote and Ilse Jonkers, along with colleagues Mariska Wesseling and Sam Van Rossom, from KU Leuven in Belgium, are leading a two-part workshop at the 23rd Congress of the European Society of Biomechanics<https://esbiomech.org/conference/index.php/esb2017/seville> in Seville, Spain on July 2, 2017. In the morning session, participants will be introduced to OpenSim's models and tools by computing joint contact forces and conducting an analysis of a drop landing based on experimental data. In the afternoon advanced session, participants will evaluate ankle inversion injury risk in a drop landing and learn to use the OpenSim API and Matlab interface.

Apply for an OpenSim Pilot Project Grant up to $40,000 Applications Due July 29, 2017 The National Center for Simulation in Rehabilitation Research (NCSRR) and OpenSim project at Stanford seek proposals for our pilot project program. The program awards seed grants to innovative and meritorious projects that will accelerate the use of simulation in rehabilitation research. Pilot project awardees may request funding (up to $40,000) for their research.

OpenSim Workshop at TGCS 2017 There is still time to register<http://isbweb.org/~tgcs/iscsb-2017/register.htm> for the ISB Technical Group on Computer Simulation (TGCS)<http://isbweb.org/~tgcs/iscsb-2017/index.html> that will be held in the Gold Coast, Australia. The OpenSim team at Stanford University will lead a three-hour workshop during TGCS on July 20, 2017, where participants will learn how to use the Matlab scripting interface with OpenSim 4.0 through hands-on tutorials. We hope you'll join us<http://opensim.stanford.edu/support/event_details.html?id=181>. OpenSim 4.0 Interactive Tutorial at ISB 2017 There is also still time to register<http://www.biomech2017.com/registration.php> for the 26th Congress of the International Society of Biomechanics (ISB)<http://www.biomech2017.com/index.php> taking place July 23-27, 2017 in Brisbane, Australia. The OpenSim team will lead an interactive hands-on tutorial at this conference on building muscle-driven simulations and will present key new features of OpenSim 4.0. The teaching team includes Scott Delp, Jennifer Hicks, James Dunne, Chris Dembia, Carmichael Ong, Jennifer Yong, and Apoorva Rajagopal.

OpenSim Research Symposium at ISB 2017 The OpenSim team will also be conducting a research symposium during ISB<http://www.biomech2017.com/index.php> in Brisbane, Australia. The symposium will highlight the latest research from leaders in the field of musculoskeletal modeling and simulations, and close with a discussion about the challenges and opportunities for using OpenSim in biomechanics research. Speakers include Brian Umberger from the University of Massachusetts, Colin Smith from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Chris Dembia from Stanford University, and Adrian Lai from Simon Fraser University. We hope you'll join us.<http://opensim.stanford.edu/support/event_details.html?id=183&title=OpenSim-Research-Highlights-Symposium-at-ISB-2017> --- Joy P.
