The goal of this two-days workshop is to initiate wet-lab scientists to reproducible data analysis with R. The “Data organisation in spreadsheets” section will focus on tabular data structure and management. We will then introduce OpenRefine and how it can be used for initial data exploration and cleaning.

The 4 Open Software Recommendations are designed around Open Science values, and provide practical suggestions that contribute to making research software and its source code more discoverable, reusable and transparent. These recommendations recognise that not everyone can or want to make their software open from day one, but encourage to learn from the recommendations and adapt them as needed. The instructors for this workshop are Mateusz Kuzak and Toby Hodges). Info and registration.

This Data Carpentry Workshop, with a special focus on sequence handling for variant calling using the cloud resources, will introduce you to Genomic concepts and scripting. For those unfamiliar with the concept, Data Carpentry aims at systematically delivering workshops on the fundamental data skills needed to conduct research. The instructors are Mateusz Kuzak, Toby Hodges and Christof De Bo. Info and registration.

This half-day workshop will take you through the basic use of Git and GitHub. Git is a free and open source distributed version-control system designed to maintain code, track changes, recover old versions and collaborate with other developers. This course is open to everyone for free, organized by ELIXIR Belgium. More info.

This course is organised over two full days (22 and 26 June 2020). With the help of plenty hands-on exercises, you will get introduced into the different types of variables in python, the peculiarities of python and good programming habits. This course will provide you an ideal stepping stone for further developing programming skills in Python. More info and registration.
