[CODATA-international] Apply to participate in the CODATA-RDA Research Data Science Summer School and the CODATA-RDA Research Data Science Applied Workshops - Deadline 25 April 2017

[Asha CODATA]

Following the enormous success of the 2016 edition of the CODATA-RDA
Research Data Science Summer School <http://www.codata.org/
working-groups/research-data-science-summer-schools/first-
codata-rda-school-of-research-data-science-ictp-trieste> the Abdus Salam
International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), in collaboration with
CODATA, RDA and TWAS, will host two related events in July this year.

*The CODATA-RDA Research Data Science Summer School will take place
from 10-21 July 2017.  Apply here! <http://indico.ictp.it/event/7974/
<http://indico.ictp.it/event/7974/>>  Deadline 25/04/2017*

*The CODATA-RDA Research Data Science Applied Workshops on Extreme Sources
of Data, Bioinformatics and IoT/Big-Data Analytics will take place
from 24-28 July 2017.  Apply here! <http://indico.ictp.it/event/8170/
<http://indico.ictp.it/event/8170/>> Deadline 25/04/2017*

Interested parties may apply for either or for both events.

Some support for travel and accommodation is available and its allocation
will be determined during the selection process and is intended for
participants from lower and middle income countries.  Potential
participants have the opportunity to indicate they need support in the
application.  Self-funded participants are welcome.  All applications will
be treated on merit.

The events are open to participants at any stage in their career, though
financial support will prioritise post graduate and early career
researchers.

The CODATA-RDA Research Data Science Summer School is open to participants
in any research discipline.

*About the CODATA-RDA Research Data Science Summer School, 10-21 July 2017*
The CODATA-RDA Research Data Science Summer School provides training in the
foundational skills of Research Data Science.  Contemporary research –
particularly when addressing the most significant, transdisciplinary
research challenges – cannot be done effectively without a range of skills
relating to data. This includes the principles and practice of Open Science
and research data management and curation, the use of a range of data
platforms and infrastructures, large scale analysis, statistics,
visualisation and modelling techniques, software development and annotation
and more. We define ‘Research Data Science’ as the ensemble of these skills.

Partners in the school include Software Carpentry and Data Carpentry and
the Digital Curation Centre.

This course will largely repeat the format and content of last year’s very
successful school.  For further information about the content and last
year’s event please see http://indico.ictp.it/event/7658/ ; 2016 programme
