Hello,
This is not an answer to the original problem, it's about '..'. (And a
bit more.)
About '..', see if the following sequence of instructions can help.
Subdirectories '~/tmp' and '~/snap' exist on my PC, change to
'~/analysis/scripts' or to what makes sense on yours.
od <- getwd() # save this for later
setwd('~/tmp') #
list.files('../snap') # goes up one level and
# executes a SO/files related command
curr <- getwd()
basename(curr) # these two instructions are meant to show that
dirname(curr) # you don't need to know how many levels you have
# to go up, you can parse 'curr' if basename and
# dirname are not enough
setwd(od) # back to where I was
Hope this helps,
Rui Barradas

I do not know this ".." command (could you please show me how to use it
in a relative path?), but it sounds like a good start.
But it implies that I know in advance how many folders up the parent
directory is. I guess in most cases it will always be the same, but it
would be even better if it could be applied generically.
As I said, ideally, I would like to get the project directory from a
script located in a subfolder.
Thanks!
Ivan

The problem I then have is to specify the path for 'raw_data' and
'derived_data' <...> And these folders are not subfolders of
the working directory '~/analysis/scripts'.
I would like to avoid absolute paths of course
Is there a reason to avoid relative paths built using '..' to access
parent directories?
