We invite you to register for as many of the events below as you wish to attend and contact the library if you have queries. A full list of library training activities can be viewed on our .

September & October workshops include:

Research Data Management (in-person)

The workshop will enable the participants to plan their data management according to FAIR data principles from the start of their research projects.  The hands-on planning exercise will be based on research projects of the participants. It will be particularly useful to researchers required to hand in a Data Management Plan with a funding agency but will benefit any researcher who wants to check their data workflows against best practices.

Python Introduction (in-person)

Python is a general-purpose programming language widely used in data analysis and visualisation. This in-person training is aimed at researchers with no previous programming experience. The workshop will make participants familiar with the underlying concepts and principles, enable them to write basic scripts, and understand and re-use scripts written by others. Finally, it will lay the foundations for further self-guided engagement with programming.
