Yet most of us were never formally trained in how to make our code, pipelines, and computational environments truly reusable. Have you ever: * Struggled to rerun your own analysis? * Lost track of which script version generated a figure? * Faced reviewer requests that required painful reconstruction of your workflow? Reproducible data analysis is no longer optional — it’s becoming a core research skill. That’s why VIB Training & Conferences, in collaboration with Ghent University, is organizing the micro-credential Reproducible Data Analysis (3 ECTS), starting in October 2026. The program consists of four individual courses that you can also take separately. Below is an overview of each course and its focus. Register here<https://vib.acemlna.com/lt.php?x=4lZy~GDHV6OiEHR.zgDKW.lu2nygj_9ukuVkXnTEUIXO58J70Ey7xOJy2HUl-RVfjDZo3HLLInfs5HJ8zuxGYONz3HUk> [https://vib.activehosted.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,width=650,dpr=2,fo...] A closer look at the courses Each of the four courses builds toward your final project, giving you a complete toolkit for reproducible data analysis. 5 & 6 November: Versioning code and documentation with Git & GitHub Keep track of changes and collaborate without confusion. You will learn to: * Track and organize changes in your code and documents * Collaborate smoothly without overwriting each other’s work * Share projects clearly and professionally Register before 26 October here<https://vib.acemlna.com/lt.php?x=4lZy~GDHV6OiEHR.zgDKW.lu2nygj_9ukuVkXnTEUIXO58J70Ey7xOJy2HUl-RVfjDZo3HLLInfs5HJ8zuxGYONz3HMm>.

You will learn to: * Work confidently on a remote Linux system * Submit and manage analysis jobs * Use computing resources efficiently Register before 1 November here<https://vib.acemlna.com/lt.php?x=4lZy~GDHV6OiEHR.zgDKW.lu2nygj_9ukuVkXnTEUIXO58J70Ey7xOJy2HUl-RVfjDZo3HLLInfs5HJ8zuxGYONz3HMn>. 23 & 24 November: Containerize data analysis with Docker & Apptainer Make sure your analysis runs the same way everywhere. You will learn to: * Package software and dependencies into portable environments * Run your analysis on different systems without breaking it * Share complete, ready-to-use setups with collaborators Register before 8 November here<https://vib.acemlna.com/lt.php?x=4lZy~GDHV6OiEHR.zgDKW.lu2nygj_9ukuVkXnTEUIXO58J70Ey7xOJy2HUl-RVfjDZo3HLLInfs5HJ8zuxGYONz3HMo>.

You will learn to: * Build and run automated analysis pipelines * Organise workflows for clarity and reuse * Scale analyses from your laptop Register before 22 November here<https://vib.acemlna.com/lt.php?x=4lZy~GDHV6OiEHR.zgDKW.lu2nygj_9ukuVkXnTEUIXO58J70Ey7xOJy2HUl-RVfjDZo3HLLInfs5HJ8zuxGYONz3HMp>. Why you should join Whether you choose to follow one specific course or complete the full micro-credential, you’ll gain practical tools that help you work more efficiently, collaborate more easily, and future-proof your research. Spots are limited to ensure interactive, hands-on learning. If reproducibility is something you’ve been meaning to “figure out someday,” this is your opportunity to build those skills in a structured and supported way. We hope to welcome you to Ghent this spring.
