[FRB-CESAB] Data Toolbox for Reproducible Research in Computational Ecology – 2025

Version control, reproducibility, compendium and containerization

Pre-registrations are now close for the 2025 session.

The CESAB – Centre for Biodiversity Synthesis and Analysis – and the RT EcoStat organize the seventh edition of the training course “Data Toolbox for Reproducible Research in Computational Ecology”. The objective of this five-day course is to train young researchers in reproducibility, software development and version management tools (Git, GitHub, R Markdown, Quarto, renv, Docker), applied to biodiversity research.

This training will be given in French and will take place from December 1st to 5th 2025 at CESAB in Montpellier. Its price is 250 € for the week – lunch included. Transportation, accommodation and evening meals are at the charge of the participants.

The FRB offers 4 scholarships of 250 € each, which will cover the full registration fees. These scholarships are intended to support individuals who do not receive any institutional support (e.g., funding from their laboratory, research team, etc.) and who are unable to cover the registration fees with their own funds. We fully trust each applicant to assess their situation and apply for a scholarship only if necessary. The selection of participants will be carried out independently of the scholarship applications. Once this selection is made, the scholarships will be awarded by a random draw among the selected participants who have expressed a need for financial assistance.

A good mastering of the R software is required.
