The ATRIUM Summer School “Data Literacy with R for Students of Humanities” is run by the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University, Prague. This intensive course will teach you to tidy your data as well as perform basic analysis with descriptive statistics and scientific visualisation techniques. It is a condensed version of a regular semestral course in R programming for humanities students who do not have any programming skills, boasting a non-competitive and highly supportive environment for scholars who get easily intimidated by computers. Your goal is to gain a critical level of skill to prepare your own (tabular) data for analysis.
The course runs for two weeks, from 4th to 15th August 2025. The teaching fees, travel and subsistence costs are covered by a grant. Applicants are required to describe their current research project and how the course will help them achieve their research goals.
Further information about the course and how to apply can be found on the ATRIUM website Summer School page. The deadline for applications is the 28th February 2025.
In addition, ATRIUM runs a rolling Transnational Access programme for individual placements covering a wide range of topics, many of which are highly relevant to archaeology researchers. The next deadline (when all the current applications are collected for assessment for the award of placements) is the 31st May 2025.
