Dear Carpentry Instructors, we are writing to inform you of a summer school from July 9th to 13th in Hannover, Germany. The aim is to train junior scientists:
a) in implementing the FAIR principles for research data management, b) in good practices in managing scientific software engineering projects, and c) to identify similarities and differences in how to treat these important scientific objects FAIRly. For this event, we are looking for instructors and trainers willing to join us in an experiment: teaching not a classic Carpentry workshop for two days, but cherry-picking parts of the lessons that lend themselves to practising the implementation of the "FAIR principles" [0] for data sets and software. For example, highlighting the advantage of tidy data by remixing different datasets, re-using public data sets for visualisations, packaging R code, and more [1]. We will be preparing these examples during May and June, of course openly available under github.com/TIBHannover. In case the full 5 days are not feasible, your support would of course be welcome also for a part of the week. Thanks to a grant from the German Ministry of Education and Research, we will fully cover your accommodation cost [2] as well as travel costs. During the workshop, snacks, drinks and vegan & non-vegan lunch will be available, and we will have an instructors' dinner. The registration site [3] will be communicated publicly to interested junior scientists in a few days, as well as the workshop's GitHub Page [4]. We would be happy to have you join us as instructors, helpers or of course as participants as well. Please reply to carpentr...@tib.eu, also if you have any questions or feedback about this experimental workshop format.
