From 23 to 27 June, at the Department of Civil Engineering, University of Aveiro (Room 28.01.11), the Advanced Course: Data Analysis using R will take place.

This course will consist of introductory-level lectures and practical exercises on command-line-based data analysis using R and RStudio. Participants will have the opportunity to learn the basics of R, data manipulation and visualisation tools, and the analysis of various data types using different libraries.

R is a free, open-source software that runs on multiple operating systems. It is widely used across the globe for data analysis and has an extensive online help system. The thousands of available libraries allow users to perform a wide range of analyses and cite the exact methodology used.

Applicants should have a background in Biology or related fields and be researchers or postgraduate students (Master’s or PhD level). The course has a total duration of 40 hours, divided into 10 sessions. Assessment will be based on attendance, general interest and participation, and a certificate of completion will be awarded at the end of the course.

PhD students enrolled in the Doctoral Programme in Biology are entitled to free participation. All applicants must submit a letter of motivation.
