What participants are saying about our trainings
“The OpenS training I received at NCEAS changed the way I do science!"
"That comfort with developing a reproducible workflow for my work is something that I learned only when I started doing synthesis work through NCEAS."
"One of the great things about NCEAS is it was this place where lots of people came from all over the world who were interested in approaching science in the same way."
Upcoming Events & Opportunities
A five-day immersion in R programming for environmental data science. Researchers will gain experience with essential data science tools and best practices to increase their capacity as collaborators, reproducible coders, and open scientists. The course will be taught in-person in Santa Barbara. More details about the course here.
REGISTRATION WILL REOPEN IN 2025
NCEAS is committed to advancing diversity and equity among workshop participants. We recognize the financial barrier that registration and travel costs present and are excited to offer funding opportunities for the coreR Course. The Director's Scholarship is intended to support individuals who would otherwise not be able to participate and identify as part of traditionally underrepresented groups in STEM.
APPLICATIONS WILL REOPEN IN 2025
