A national course open for PhD students (prioritized), postdocs, researchers and other employees within Swedish universities who are interested in learning to produce publication quality plots using different packages in R.

This course aims to help researchers to visualize their data in different ways using R. This course will teach how to produce publication grade figures using R. A part of this course is also about making interactive plots that the researchers can view and share in a web-server to make interactive visualizations of their data.

The course is organized by NBIS (ELIXIR-SE).

Selection criteria

The course can accommodate 25 participants. Selection criteria include correct entry requirements, motivation to attend the course as well as gender and geographical balance. Academic affiliated registrants are prioritized prior to participants from the industry.

Please note that NBIS training events do not provide any formal university credits. The training content is estimated to correspond to a certain number of credits, however the estimated credits are just guidelines. If formal credits are crucial, the student needs to confer with the home department before submitting a course application in order to establish whether the course is valid for formal credits or not.
