CodeRefinery workshop: Best practices for research software development

DTU and DDSA offer an in-person classroom for all students, PhD students and staff

This free online CodeRefinery workshop is designed for researchers and students from all disciplines at Danish universities, who want to write software as part of their research.

This workshop teaches essential tools which are usually skipped in academic education so everyone can make full use of software, computing, and data with focus on reusability, reproducibility, and openness.

The workshop covers:

  • 17 March – Version control with Git
  • 18 March – Version control with Git
  • 19 March – Collaborative distributed version control
  • 24 March - Reproducible research, social coding and open software
  • 25 March - Documentation of research software and AI tools for coding
  • 26 March – Automated testing and modular code development

The event is a community effort between DTU Library, BRIGHT, DTU Compute and the Turing Council – DTU Compute Master’s Student Council. DDSA is generously sponsoring the in-person class, which includes coffee, snacks and lunch.
