Prerequisites

This hands-on workshop introduces tools and techniques to help you write more FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) research code. It is not a course to learn programming.

The workshop will be most beneficial if you already have programming experience in any language.

For a detailed list of prerequisites to ensure the best experience, please visit the CodeRefinery workshop page.

Practicalities

The workshop is free and open to everyone.

*You can participate online at your own or join us in Espoo for an in-person exercise session with helpers.
