Dear All,
The first European CarpentryConnect event
<https://software.ac.uk/ccmcr19>will be held in Manchester, UK, on 25-27
June 2019 under the theme "Training Communities: Challenges and
Opportunities in Europe" with an aim to, once again, bring the Carpentry
community together.
We are delighted to open the call for topic suggestions and abstract
submissions for breakout sessions (group discussions such as “Carpentry
Methods in University Courses”, “Diversity and Inclusion”, “Sustainable
Software Practices”), workshops (longer sessions or training on specific
topics such as “Ally workshop”, “Contributing on GitHub”, “Project
Leadership”, “Shell Tips and Tricks”), lightning talks and posters under
the following general themes:
*
Lesson/curricula development (e.g. working on existing curricula or
establishing completely novel materials, new introductory or
intermediate lessons)
*
Increasing the sustainability of scientific software and research
through training
*
Good teaching practices in research computing (e.g. different
approaches for different levels of lesson, different workshop formats)
*
Tools and resources for teaching computational methods to researchers
*
Other topics relating to The Carpentries community or delivering
training in research software:
o
Building a local carpentry group/community at research institutions
o
Running a Carpentry membership at an institution
o
Bringing the Carpentries curriculum to universities
o
Attracting funding or making a case with the senior management
for workshops/membership at your institution
We strongly encourage contributions from new members of the Carpentries
community, with or without any experience of running a session at a
conference.
A draft programme <https://software.ac.uk/ccmcr19/programme>for the
conference is available online.
You can submit an abstract or your suggestions using the submission form
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdPtEFSWYyX09w1G1T5ZvhZJRQyBzXD4zvJbi_GDtnqhgsTKw/viewform>until
1 March 2019. The notification of the outcome of your application will
be sent out by 1 April 2019.
Looking forward to seeing you in Manchester in June!
Best wishes for 2019,
The CarpentryConnect Manchester 2019 Programme Subcommittee
