DESCRIPTION:**This course is now full.** \n\n\n\n# Overview\nR is a complet
 e\, flexible and open source system for statistical analysis and graphics\
 , which has become a tool of choice for biologists and biomedical scientis
 ts who need to analyse and visualise large amounts of data. Due to its pop
 ularity\, R is continuously updated and extended with the latest libraries
  for data manipulation\, modelling and visualisation. \n\nThis course will
  give an introduction to R and Rstudio (an integrated development environm
 ent for R) in an interactive manner. Participants will receive example dat
 a sets to practise data manipulation\, graphical exploration and statistic
 al hypothesis testing.\n\n# Audience\nThis "First Steps with R" two-day co
 urse is addressed to beginners wanting to become familiar with the R synta
 x\, environment\, and the most common commands to start using R to explore
  and interpret their data.\n\n# Learning objectives\nAt the end of the cou
 rse\, participants should be comfortable with the R environment and be abl
 e to read\, understand and write R commands\, allowing them to implement a
 nd interpret a workflow for their data analysis:\n* interact with the R en
 vironment\n* import data\, explore it and summarise it\n* explore data wit
 h graphs\n* perform simple statistical tests\n\n\n# Prerequisites\n#### **
 *Knowledge / competencies***\nAs it is a course for beginners\, no backgro
 und in R or any programming language is required. However\, you are encour
 aged to go through some of the R documentation available [here](http://cra
 n.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-intro.html).\n\nPlease also note t
 his course is NOT a training on statistics but rather a training on how to
  use R to perform different tasks\, statistics being one of them.\n#### **
 *Technical***\nA Wi-Fi enabled laptop with latest [R](https://www.r-projec
 t.org/) and [RStudio](https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/#d
 ownload) versions installed. There will be access to the eduroam and guest
  network. \n\n# Application\n\n\n\n\nRegistration fees are **200 CHF** for
  academics and **1000 CHF** for for-profit companies. While participants a
 re registered on a first come\, first served basis\, exceptions may be mad
