Dear early-career researchers,

You are invited to register for a 2-day Software Carpentry workshop on March 24 and 25 at the Fachbibliothek Philologicum (Library), Veranstaltungsraum. 

The workshop will cover the Unix shell, version control in git, and data wrangling and visualisation in R.

This workshop teaches core computing skills that will help you be more productive and effective. We will alternate short tutorials with hands-on practical exercises. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems.

See the workshop website for more details: https://lmu-osc.github.io/2025-03-24-LMU-Humanities/

Instructors: Laura Meier, Florian Kohrt, Maximilian Frank

Helpers: Pat Callahan, Sarah von Grebmer zu Wolfsthurn

Registration is mandatory, and participation requires setting up the software in advance by following the provided instructions (a help desk session will also take place on March 21). Please register only if you are available for the whole course.

Registration: https://www.pretix.osc.lmu.de/lmu-osc/swc-20250324-Hum

Please join with your colleagues and share widely!

The workshop is free and open to researchers, staff, and students of any disciplines. It is funded by the Munich Center for Machine Learning and the LMU Open Science Center, supported by The University Library and the Department of Psychology, and hosted by the LMU Center for Digital Humanities.

Best wishes

Malika
