R, a programming language and environment for statistical computing and graphics, is heavily used in biological and ecological sciences, and therefore, a must have in any researcher portfolio.
We welcome everyone to apply to the R SESSIONS. It consists in different short modules (sessions) focusing on a topic related with R. The sessions have the objective of introducing a given topic (materials will be provided for further study) and will be very practical with minimal focus on theory. Each participant can attend one or more sessions depending on what they wish to learn. There is a limit of 15 participants per session.
At the moment, 12 sessions are planned, but more sessions can be opened in the future. The dates and details of each session will be announced in due time.
