This section is for the Capsis end-users who were given a Capsis installer (Zip or IzPack jar version) by a Capsis modeller (see the Capsis charter). Your installer generally contains only few models (the other models in Capsis are not all free). For a complete and up to date list of projects, see the models page.

The Capsis annual meetings take place each year around April-June. All the members are invited to talk together about the current / active / short term beginning projects. Every meeting results in a report that you can find below.

Since 2011, the Capsis meeting has been joined with the annual meeting of the CAQ network into the CAQSIS annual meeting (Céline Meredieu, Mathieu Fortin (until 2015), Francis Colin (2016-2017) and Francois de Coligny).
