Data Carpentry with R for Social Sciences and Humanities: Day 1

Together with Leiden University, TU Delft, and VU University we are organizing another edition of the Data Carpentry with R for Social Sciences & Humanities in March. For more information and registration, please see this workshop page.

This will again be a ‘real life’ edition that will take place during two full days at our own EUR campus this time!

Why should you register?

Do you want to learn how to organize your data better and how to work more reproducible? A Data Carpentry workshop aims to teach researchers basic concepts, skills, and tools for working with data so that they can get more done in less time, and with less pain.

This workshop teaches data management and analysis for social sciences and humanities research including best practices for data organization in spreadsheets, reproducible data cleaning with OpenRefine, and data analysis and visualization with R.

This is an introductory course, so learners don't need to have any previous knowledge of the tools that will be presented at the workshop. 

It is possible to receive ECTS for the Erasmus Graduate School of Social Sciences and the Humanities (EGSH), see the course website there.
