[IRTalk] Excellent training opportunities in Big Data, Data Science, Open Science, Research Data Management, Coding etc.

[Joy Davidson]

Thanks very much for sharing the FOSTER resources Ina!

I just wanted to share this specific link to our set of 10 freely accessible courses on Open Science. Participants receive badges for successful completion (you just need to be logged in). The courses can also be downloaded as SCORM so that they can be tailored and reused locally by trainers.

All the best,
Joy
