Research Software Camps

We run free online Research Software Camps once a year over the course of two weeks. Each Camp focusses on introducing basic research software skills and good practices. 

We welcome researchers from all career stages to join in the live and offline discussions that will take place throughout the Camp. In the coming weeks and months, we’ll be updating our pages and sharing more information on the upcoming Research Software Camp.
