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?
The VU and UvA are organizing a Software Carpentry workshop that will help programming novices to gain fundamental software skills. The Software Carpentry workshop is a 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 30.09.2026 (10:00 - 15:00 CEST)
- Wednesday 07.10.2026 (10:00 - 15:00 CEST)
- Thursday 14.10.2026 (10:00 - 15:00 CEST)
- Friday 21.10.2026 (10:00 - 15:00 CEST)
Completing the whole Software Carpentry course may entitle you to 1 EC, distributed by Edubadge.
NOTE: The location will be sent to all those who sign up. You only need to sign up to the first day of the course (30/09/26).
Check out low volume for free coding support every other Thursday, 15:00-16:30!
