Olivia OnBoarding 2026 seminar series

Drawing on our experience with introducing the Olivia machine and associated services, NRIS Training is now offering a series of seminars that provide a deeper introduction to some highly relevant topics. These seminars are at a basic-to-intermediate level, and targeted towards participants at the preceding OnBoarding event. However, these seminars will also be open to others, but note that some relevant parts from OnBoarding may be assumed known.

The course is open to all and free of charge, but registration is mandatory.

Below you find the list of episodes and how to register. Episodes are self-contained. You can join only for the episodes you find useful.
