Who should apply
Only applicants with institutional affiliation outside of the Czech Republic are eligible to receive funding due to the trans-national nature of the access to the infrastructure provided by the school.
We welcome applications from early-career researchers and PhD students who are enthusiastic about acquiring programming skills, particularly in the R scripting language, to efficiently retrieve and analyse extensive (spatial) datasets. Participants should demonstrate a keen interest in conducting data analysis and processing in a structured and reproducible manner using scripting languages.
While applicants with prior knowledge of R programming are encouraged to apply, the first day of the training will be dedicated to mastering the fundamentals of R. Individuals who are complete beginners are welcome as well, as no prior experience is necessary. Additionally, applicants should have a basic understanding of statistics, data management, and geographic information systems to fully benefit from the training.
