WHAT WE DO
The Amsterdam Science Park Study Group is dedicated to building a community of computational scientists in biology and other disciplines.
This Amsterdam Science Park Study Group promotes skill sharing and collaboration by :
- organizing interactive coding workshops following the Carpentries Foundation.
- regularly organising themed co-working sessions on specific topics (data visualisation, image analysis, etc.).
- bring researchers together to build dedicated tools (Shiny apps, genomic pipelines, etc.) regardless of their institute, research teams, etc.
All are welcome regardless of their scientific research area, affiliation or training level.
