Software Carpentry: R Beginner+ 14 April 2026 - 17 April 2026

Share
Would you like to improve your research process by learning how to program with R and automating analysis and plotting, but never had the opportunity to actually learn programming in a structured way? 

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, UvA, Amsterdam UMC, AUAS, and NWO-I are organizing a Software Carpentry workshop that will help programming novices to gain fundamental software skills. The Software Carpentry workshop is a hybrid 4-half-day, hands-on training that will cover basic programming like automation, data cleaning, and data visualization with R - everything you need to start your research programming career! The course finishes with an example project and support to start using your new skills on your own projects.

For more information look at the event page. You can find instructions there on how to install the software we will be using.

The Software Carpentry course is a multi-day event consisting of 4 half-days:

  • Tuesday 14.04.2026 (10:00 - 15:00 CEST)
  • Wednesday 15.04.2026 (10:00 - 15:00 CEST)
  • Thursday 16.04.2026 (10:00 - 15:00 CEST)
  • Friday 17.04.2026 (10:00 - 15:00 CEST)

Completing the whole Software Carpentry course may entitle you to 1 EC, distributed by Edubadge.

Please choose if you will be attending online or in person and inform us if you wish to change how you will attend.

NOTE: The location and link to join the course in person or online will be sent to all those who sign up
