The ELIXIR-PT/BioData.pt infrastructure and the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência (IGC) are proud to announce that a Data Carpentry Workshop, with a special focus on Genomics data, will be held at the IGC on October 15th and 16th 2018. For those unfamiliar with the concept, Data Carpentry aims at systematically delivering workshops on the fundamental data skills needed to conduct research. What you will learn will largely influence the way in which you handle data in a fully independent way, free from proprietary software and storage platforms. The workshop will be run by Mateusz Kusak and Paula Andrea Martinez, both highly qualified instructors of the Carpentries (https://carpentries.org/). The content will be the Genomics Curriculum https://datacarpentry.org/lessons/#genomics-workshop. Attendance will be granted for FREE to up to 30 participants that need to apply before October 5th at 12h00 using the Eventbrite page that will be provided via a link on the ELIXIR-PT/BioData.pt website (http://Biodata.pt/Events/DC2018) The conditions for attendance are specified in the following online document: https://datacarpentry.org/workshops-attend/
