CG Education & Publications

Our group likes to share knowledge as much as possible, so in the last decade we’ve been releasing a lot of educational tools, docs, tutorials, videos, we regularly contribute on public forums, teach in universities, present at conferences etc etc. Here below a rather complete list of what we have been doing in the field of education.
