From June 15 to 19, the eighth edition of 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, tools for data manipulation and visualization, and the analysis of various types of data using different libraries.

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

Applicants should have a background in Biology or related fields and be researchers or students. The course has a total duration of 40 hours and is composed of 10 blocks. A certificate of participation will be awarded to those who attend more than 9 blocks. A graded certificate (6 ECTS) will be awarded to those who attend more than 9 blocks and complete an individual assignment.

PhD students from the Doctoral Programme in Biology may attend free of charge. All applicants must submit a motivation letter.
