Boosting Research Skills through Digital Data Workshops
During the Data Carpentry workshops researchers learn best practices and explore tools to make their data reusable and open, enhancing the efficiency and reproducibility of their research workflows. The next workshop will take place early 2025 in Leiden.
Keep an eye on our websites and social media for further announcements.
Organised by colleagues from the Leiden University Libraries' Centre for Digital Scholarship, the TU Delft Library, Erasmus University Rotterdam Data Stewards, and VU Amsterdam data stewards, these workshops are designed for researchers in the social sciences and humanities who are novices in digital skills. Participants will engage with best practices, new tools, and the basics of the programming language R in a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment.
The workshops are highly interactive, featuring live coding sessions and exercises. A dedicated group of helpers will be available throughout to assist participants, ensuring a smooth learning experience even when technical challenges arise. This supportive approach aims to minimise the initial frustrations that can come with learning new technologies.
The curriculum is openly available and has been created, curated, and maintained by a global community of volunteers under the coordination of The Carpentries, a worldwide non-profit organisation.
