In affiliation with The Carpentries, the Institute is organising the first European CarpentryConnect event in Manchester from 25th - 27th June 2019 in collaboration with the Cathie Marsh Institute for Social Research and with support from Manchester’s Data Science Institute. It will be hosted at The Studio Manchester on 25th and 26th of June and in the Kilburn Building at the School of Computer Science (University of Manchester) on 27th June.

The conference programme offers a range of keynotes, breakout discussion sessions, training workshops, lightning talks and poster sessions around training. We will also be running a social programme after the conference after each day.
