+## Documentation and help
 Detailed documentation can be found at [AeoLiS ReadTheDocs](http://aeolis.readthedocs.io/)
 
+A couple of short courses are available to help new users get acquainted with the model:
+- [AeoLiS short course](https://github.com/openearth/aeolis-shortcourse)
+- [AeoLiS case study documentation by ERDC](https://github.com/erdc/aeolis-python/tree/master/tutorial)
+
+Example case studies can also be found in the [examples folder](https://github.com/openearth/aeolis-python/tree/main/aeolis/examples) that is part of the AeoLiS installation.
+
+We encourage (new) users to post questions and case studies on the [AeoLiS Discussion Board](https://github.com/openearth/aeolis-python/discussions). We use this public forum so our help and advice is available to everyone.
