<https://codata.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/dsschool1.jpg>Contemporary
research – particularly when addressing the most significant,
inter-disciplinary research challenges – cannot effectively be done without
a range of skills relating to data. The CODATA-RDA Schools of Research Data
Science initiative has developed a short course curriculum, presented in
summer school style, that addresses these training requirements. Read more
<https://www.datascienceschools.org/>

The curriculum of the CODATA-RDA School of Research Data Science – South
Africa is presented as ten themes. Participants will be allowed seven days
(a week) to complete each theme. Generally the participant would need to
make provision for at least seven to eight hours to work through the
content of the theme. The content also makes provision for practical
exercises and at least one live question and answer session where
facilitators will address concerns participants may have. Content will be
provided as video lectures as well as presentation slides.

postdoc) and professionals with the foundational data science skills, which
include technical skills and responsible research practices, to enable them
to work with their data in an effective and efficient manner required by
21st century research.
