Courses

Do you want to learn more about open and reproducible research?
The DCC can help you. We offer free workshops covering basic skills such as data curation, management and visualisation or reproducible coding.
We also provide an overview of courses on advanced topics and professional development of data stewards and software engineers offered by others. Many of those courses are free of charge.

Internal workshops

We offer demand driven workshops on open and reproducible data and software management. Think about workshops on basic skills such as Unix, Git, (Python/R) programming, data cleaning and visualization.

To organise these workshops, we joined The Carpentries.
