Helpers: Tara Cooke, Regis Witz, Arthur Pons, Virgile Jarrige, Marc Chantreux
Data Carpentry develops and teaches workshops on the fundamental data skills needed to conduct research. Its target audience is researchers who have little to no prior computational experience, and its lessons are domain specific, building on learners' existing knowledge to enable them to quickly apply skills learned to their own research. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems.
For more information on what we teach and why, please see our paper "Good Enough Practices for Scientific Computing".
Who: 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.
Where: 74A ROUTE DU RHIN 67400 ILLKIRCH CEDEX FRANCE
Participants and helpers will work together at the Library of the Institute of Technology IUT Robert Schuman.
The Library will be open from 9am to 7pm. More information on the Library website.
