The “Python for Beginners” course introduces Python programming, designed for those with little to no prior experience. Upon completion, students will have a firm grasp of Python fundamentals and be equipped with the skills to start their journey in Python programming.
The practical workshop on cleaning your messy data with OpenRefine software.
First, we will cover spreadsheet best practices. Then, we will put that knowledge into practice with OpenRefine. This course will explore the depths of OpenRefine software and see what it can offer. This will include cleaning the data in bigger batches and unifying the data in one sweep (transforms and expressions). Additionally, we will introduce the possibility of downloading additional data from other databases and different extensions OpenRefine software has.

Version control serves as the digital equivalent of a lab notebook. It is employed by professionals to monitor their progress and collaborate effectively. Its utility extends beyond software development; it can be used for books, papers, small datasets, or any evolving content that requires sharing.
Git is a globally adopted tool that helps developers manage changes in collaborative projects. Keeping a record of changes, complete with timestamps and explanations, becomes exceptionally valuable when returning to a project in the future, like a year later when recollection may be unclear.

On the 25th of May 2023, ELIXIR-Estonia will be organizing a face-to-face data carpentry course in English: Version Control with Git.
Git is used across the world to help developers keep track of changes while working on different parts of the same project. Teams are not the only ones to benefit from version control: lone researchers can benefit immensely. Keeping a record of what was changed, when, and why is extremely useful for all researchers if they ever need to come back to the project later on (e.g., a year later, when memory has faded).
Version control is the lab notebook of the digital world: it’s what professionals use to keep track of what they’ve done and to collaborate with other people. Every large software development project relies on it, and most programmers use it for their small jobs as well. And it isn’t just for software: books, papers, small data sets, and anything that changes over time or needs to be shared can and should be stored in a version control system.

On the 3rd of March 2023, ELIXIR-Estonia will be organising a face-to-face data management course in English: Basic LINUX/Unix workshop.
This course is aimed to provide basic survival skills in Linux and the terminal environment. We will teach you how to access files and folders, move around and hopefully shake off the fear of getting stuck somewhere along the way.
No prior knowledge is expected.

According to the Estonian Research Council funding agreement, all the projects that have started from 2022 have to submit a data management plan (DMP) within the first 6 months. Since this will be a new thing for a lot of researchers, ELIXIR Estonia will be doing a data management writing course for this purpose. This workshop is part of a bigger data management course package aimed at DMP writers.
“Bring your own DMP workshop” workshop (in English) will be a follow-up to “Open Science and DMP in Estonia” lecture. The face-to-face writing sessions will be held both in Tartu and in Tallinn. In case you need any help with the writing of the DMP part, the 7th of March 2023 (14:00-17:00) session will be held in Tartu and the 16th of March (13:00-16:00) session will be held at Tallinn.
During the workshop, we will be talking about the theory of different aspects of the DMP and giving more practical advice. There will be 3-4 30min writing sessions, where you can write most of your DMP. Also, if you have any questions, the organizer will help you as best as they can.
In case of questions, you can contact ELIXIR Estonia (elixir@ut.ee).
