Below details the current timetable for the workshop. Please note that the times and sessions are currently subject to change. Links to the workshop/lecture content will be put up as soon as they are available.
Please note that we do not expect to have time to work on data sets generated by participants during the workshop. Our goal is to teach the SKILLS needed for analysis. However, once analysis of own data sets is complete participants are more than welcome to contact the faculty to discuss their results after the workshop.
