Empowering Researchers with Foundational Computing Skills: Join the Upcoming Carpentries Workshop

In today’s fast-paced research environment, the ability to harness computational tools effectively can make a world of difference. Whether you’re managing data or automating tasks, having the right skills can significantly streamline your work. That’s where The Carpentries come in — a global initiative comprising the Software Carpentry, Data Carpentry, and Library Carpentry communities. These communities are dedicated to equipping researchers with essential computational and data science skills, helping them to work smarter, not harder.

FDM-Werkstatt - Into the RDM-Toolbox!

Event , RDM

The Center of Data Litercacy (German: “Zentrum für Datenkompetenz”) DKZ.2R was officially launched mid November 2023. Already a month later we joined forces with fdm.nrw to organise the very first DKZ.2R-event (find the call for participation here). The “FDM-Werkstatt – Into the RDM-Toolbox” took place from March 18 to 20, 2024 at the IT Center of RWTH Aachen University. In total, 50 participants from all over Germany took part in the workshops. Many of them brought their own topics of interest with them and presented it in one of the 12 sessions. The contents of the sessions ranged from low-level introductions and RDM-basics to elaborate and in-detail coding sessions. For three days we worked together, discussed use cases and new RDM tools. But we also enjoyed the social program such as a tour of the AiX Cave and the server room of the ITC’s High Performance Computing Center. There was a good balance between cognitively demanding workshop sessions and more relaxing social events and lunch breaks which hopefully resulted in an enjoyable and rewarding experience for all participants. On the very last day of the workshop we offered a session to especially discuss ideas and directions for the DKZ.2R. The feedback we got in this session will help us in moving forward with the DKZ.2R and making a lasting impact for future researchers.
