Boosting Research Skills through Digital Data Workshops
Data Carpentry Workshop for Social Sciences and Humanities at TU Delft.
In a Data Carpentry workshop on 30 September and 1 October 2024, researchers will learn best practices and explore tools to make their data reusable and open, while enhancing the efficiency and reproducibility of their research workflows.
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.
