Research Data Training: Semester 1 2020/21

A universal truth: things are a bit weird just now. So over the past few months we have been working hard to convert our popular face-to-face training workshops for online delivery. Below you will find a list of the courses we’ve scheduled to delivery during semester 1 using Collaborate virtual classroom. Come along and join us!
