LifeWatch and Elixir Belgium invite you to a hands-on workshop to manage and publish research data. The workshop is organized in the context of the Empowering Biodiversity Research conference and will cover data management plans, data cleaning and GitHub. If this is jargon you always wanted to know about (but were afraid to ask), then this workshop is for you!

Who

It is an introductory workshop to data management, data cleaning and data publishing. We recommend participants to have a basic understanding of R and its data types.
