Data Science Days

14–16 September 2026 | Neues Palais (1.12.1.01) and House 70 (PC pool, 2.70.0.01), Campus Golm

Three days of hands-on training in statistics and data analysis — tailored to the research questions and datasets relevant to CRC 1644. The programme covers core methods in R, from data wrangling and visualisation to multivariate analysis, regression modelling, and genome-wide association studies. No prior programming experience is required, but basic familiarity with R is an advantage.

For CRC 1644 members only. Details on the schedule will be circulated directly to participants.
