We regularly provide a series of R training workshops for the ECOSCOPE network.

Workshops are open to all. Subjects include introductory R, graphics with ggplot, data manipulation with dplyr, statistical models and reproducible research.

Different workshop series are typically run monthly mainly throughout the Fall and Winter semesters. See the ECOSCOPE event page for dates.

ASDa is collaborating with the Data Science Institute (DSI) in the Faculty of Science at UBC to train and mentor both undergraduate and graduate students from diverse backgrounds including data science, urban research and planning and design thinking through focused, team projects that aim to benefit society.

In this 14-week full-time program (May 22 - August 24, 2018), sixteen selected UBC DSSG Fellows compose four teams with each team working on a different research project from public, government and non-profit organizations. These projects involve analyzing multiple data sets and have an applied social good component for urban-related topics.
