Carpentry@UiO
Carpentry@UiO is part of The Carpentries, a global and inclusive community that teaches foundational coding and data science skills to researchers through three core programs: Data Carpentry, Library Carpentry, and Software Carpentry.
CodeRefinery collaboration
The Carpentry@UiO and CodeRefinery are now collaborating on planning and developing workshops. CodeRefinery is a project within the Nordic e-Infrastructure Collaboration (NeIC).
CodeRefinery workshops are offered by the University of Oslo Library and the IT- department.
CodeRefinery teaches best practice on FAIR research software development and management to ensure reproducibility of your research.
Vision/Mission Statement
Carpentry@UiO is the UiO local relay of the international Carpentries organisation.
We are a group of volunteers from the University of Oslo and beyond. With support from the University of Oslo Library, we offer to PhD students, researchers and others at UiO, and beyond:
- foundational coding and data science skills workshops from Software Carpentry, Data Carpentry, and Library Carpentry
- study Group events dedicated to open and reproducible science, knowledge sharing, re-enforcing learning or discussing new subjects for future workshops/lesson development
- educational development and networking opportunities with the possibility to become Certified Carpentries Instructor and/or Carpentries Instructor Trainer
Our activities and community are open to any member of the UiO/Oslo University Hospital research community including staff, faculty, and students. Our in-person workshops are also open to external participants as long as there are free spots. We believe the Carpentries’ teaching methods are efficient and can speed up take-up toward the adoption of Open Science at UiO.
For further details of our activities, please take a look at our reports.

What is "The Carpentries"?
The Carpentries is a volunteer organization teaching foundational coding and data science skills to researchers worldwide. It consists of the following three training programs.
University of Oslo (UiO) is a silver member of the Carpentries.
Software Carpentry
Software Carpentry workshops teach researchers the computing skills they need to get more done in less time and with less pain.
Data Carpentry
Data Carpentry workshops teach the fundamental data skills needed to conduct research. The goal is to provide researchers high-quality, domain-specific training covering the full lifecycle of data-driven research.
Library Carpentry
Library Carpentry workshops focus on building software and data skills within library and information-related communities. The goal is to empower people in these roles to use software and data in their own work and to become advocates for and train others in efficient, effective and reproducible data and software practices.

Code of conduct
We follow the Carpentries’ Code of Conduct to provide an inclusive and supportive environment for our learners and our members. Any violation of our Code of Conduct should be reported, it will then be handled as quickly as possible and will remain confidential:
- to report Code of Conduct violations for official Carpentries workshops, see the Carpentries Code of Conduct Incident Reporting Guidelines
- to report Code of Conduct violations for local Carpentry@UiO workshops, use UiO’s speak-up (English) or si-fra (Norwegian) reporting
