Data Carpentry workshops are for any researcher who has data they want to analyze, and no prior computational experience is required. This hands-on workshop teaches basic concepts, skills and tools for working more effectively with data. We will cover data organization in spreadsheets and learn how to use the statistical program R. The course is aimed at graduate students and other researchers. You don't need to have any previous knowledge of the tools that will be presented at the workshop.

The course takes place in CSC's Dogmi classroom, which has a computer for every participant. If you prefer to bring your own laptop, please read the software requirements at the course GitHub page. You can find also the course material there.

This Data Carpentry workshop is kindly funded by the ELIXIR EXCELERATE project.
