ARTICnetwork and CLIMB-BIG-DATA Joint Workshop

14-15 July 2021

Together with the ARTIC network, we organised the 2nd two-day workshop about COVID-19 data analysis.

“Theory” (live sessions) and “practice” (homework) were separate, so everyone was able to choose what to take or to do from this course at their own pace.

Should you need any information, please drop an email to Lisa.Marchioretto@quadram.ac.uk.
