<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">COURSE DESCRIPTION<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Successfully undertaking a PhD in the 21st century requires researchers, from all disciplines, to have basic training in software development and the management and stewardship of their data resources. However, for many
scientists, the prospect of developing the skills needed to engage increasingly diverse and complex e-infrastructure is daunting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">For this reason, <a href="https://www.esciencecenter.nl/">
NLeSC,</a> and its partners <a href="http://www.surfsara.nl/">SURFsara</a>, <a href="http://www.dtls.nl/">
DTL</a> and <a href="http://www.vu.nl/en/">VU</a> have set up a course that will provide PhD students in the life sciences, who are developing software or working with large data resources, the experience and knowledge to empower their use of data and development
of research software. It will equip participants with essential skills required to optimise their research now and in the coming years.</span><span style="font-family:"MS Gothic"">
</span><span lang="EN-US">Students completing this course will have the basic
skills and knowledge required to manage large datasets, utilise databases, produce metadata and ensure the long-term stewardship of their data. The course will provide students with their first introductions to programming and will demonstrate that anyone
can code.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Participants will also understand the basic requirements of sustainable software development, including the use of coding environments and the need for version control and testing. Key aspects of software and data carpentry
and data stewardship will be taught.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Finally, the course will provide an introduction to e-infrastructure and show how this can be accessed and used to improve the speed and quality of research.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">For Life sciences the following essentials will be brought forward in the course:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
