+Dynare Summer School 2020 will be hosted from July 6-10, 2020 by the Banque de
+France in Paris, France.
+
+## Goals of the Summer School
+
+The school will provide an introduction to Dynare and to Dynamic Stochastic
+General Equilibrium (DSGE) modeling.
+
+The courses will focus on the simulation and estimation of DSGE models with
+Dynare. The school will also be the occasion to introduce the next official
+major release of Dynare (version 4.6).
+
+The Dynare Summer School is aimed at beginners as well as at more experienced
+researchers. PhD students are encouraged to participate. Time will be devoted
+to the (Dynare related) problems encountered by students in their research.

+at their own institution. As an alternative to MATLAB, it is possible to use
+GNU Octave (free software, compatible with MATLAB syntax).
