ANNOUNCEMENT/REMINDER RODS17 Reproducible and Open Data Science with Rutger Vos and Pedro Fernandes (Instructors) The above referenced hands-on training course is open for applications IMPORTANT DATES for this Course Deadline for applications: June 16th, 2017 <=== Course date: June 21st - 23rd 2017 Candidates with adequate profile will be accepted in the next 72 hours after the application until we reach 20 participants. Description: In an age of increasingly complex and data-intensive, collaborative scientific practices, scandals of irreproducibility, and a growing societal ethos of transparency and accountability, a new paradigm has arisen: Open Science. In this three day course, we will introduce to you the three organizing principles and practices that under-gird this paradigm: Open Access scholarly publishing Open Source software development Open Data integration and sharing For this, we will be introducing a set of technologies and ways of using them. The reasonable expectation is that the participants will feel empowered and start using them for the above purposes in a highly productive way. The use-cases that we will be working on are going to be based on bioinformatics, but the principles are very broadly applicable to other fields. You do not need to have any particular programming or otherwise computational experience beyond what is normally required from a scientist in graduate school and beyond, i.e., you should not be afraid of interacting with a computer and editing simple text files. http://gtpb.igc.gulbenkian.pt/bicourses/RODS17/ Hoping that this course meets your interests, Pedro Fernandes -- Pedro Fernandes Bioinformatics Training Coordinator Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência Apartado 14 2781-901 OEIRAS PORTUGAL Tel +351 21 4407912 http://gtpb.igc.gulbenkian.pt _______________________________________________ GTPB mailing list GTPB@igc.gulbenkian.pt https://lists.igc.gulbenkian.pt/mailman/listinfo/gtpb
