Vision/Mission Statement¶

Carpentry@UiO is the UiO local relay of the international Carpentries organisation.

We are a group of volunteers from the University of Oslo and beyond. With support from the University of Oslo Library, we offer to PhD students, researchers and others at UiO, and beyond:

foundational coding and data science skills workshops from Software Carpentry and Data Carpentry
Study Group events to dedicated to open and reproducible science, knowledge sharing, re-enforcing learning or discussing new subjects for future workshops/lesson development
educational development and networking opportunities with the possibility to become Certified Carpentries instructor and/or Carpentries Instructor Trainer

Our activity and community is open to any member of the UiO community including staff, faculty, and students, paid, and volunteer. We believe the Carpentries’ teaching methods are efficient and can speed up take up toward the adoption of Open Science at UiO.

Give a list of Carpentries instructors in Norway :
can be taken from https://github.com/carpentries/carpentries.org/blob/gh-pages/_data/publish_instructors.csv

does not differentiate Oslo from other cities (NORWAY only)

Here we should make sure we acknowledge member participation one way or another.

What do we do?¶

Our primary activity is organizing and teaching hands-on foudnational coding and data science skills workshops using the materials and practices of the Data and Software Carpentry organizations. The club will also provide educational development and networking opportunities for instructors. To maintain transparency, board meeting notes, workshop schedules, and all other club activities will be posted publicly on the web (when possible) at the Carpentries@UiO website.

Code of conduct¶

We follow the Carpentries’ Code of Conduct to provide an inclusive and supportive environment for our learners and our members. Any violation of our Code of Conduct should be reported to ??? where it will be handled as quickly as possible and will remain confidential.
