Reproducible data analysis
Date: 20 April - 24 June 2026
Language of instruction: English
The scientific method is historically linked to the possibility that other researchers can replicate and verify its results. As scientific analysis becomes more complex and interdisciplinary, ensuring reproducibility becomes more challenging, especially in fields that combine different expertise. To promote transparency, consistency, and robustness in science, journals, funders, and institutions encourage using tools and practices that enhance reproducibility. Learn about version control, containers, pipelines, and data reproducibility. This will steer you towards the reproducibility of your research and the impact and reliability of research findings and methods.
