Research Bazaar 2020: Research data for everyone
How are the things you work with data? How can you make better use of data in your research? And how can you share data?
The Research Bazaar is a worldwide festival for researchers, by researchers, aimed to help make research faster, smarter and better. The focus is on digital skills and tools important for modern-day research. The workshops will be hands-on, interactive, with lots of practice, rather than one-way lecturing.
The theme chosen for 2020 is Research data for everyone:
- How are the things you work with data
- How can you make better use of data in your research
- And how can you share data?
Lunch will be provided for full-day workshops.
