The Summer University also offers teaser sessions, public lectures, project
presentations, a poster session, and a panel discussion.

Eligible participants can be students, doctoral students, young scholars and
academics from the Arts and Humanities, Library Sciences, Social Sciences, the
Arts and Engineering, and Computer Sciences as equal partners in an
interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge and experience in a multilingual and
multicultural context. Participants are also invited to submit proposals for
poster and project presentations.

Dear colleagues,

We encourage applications external to Edinburgh for our Text and Data Mining
summer school, which is free for attendees. Please do pass onto any interested
students, or researchers.

Thanks!

> CDCS Summer School | 10 – 14 of June 2024
>
> The Centre for Data, Culture & Society is delighted to announce that
applications are now open for our 2024 Summer School.
>
> The course is primarily aimed at researchers from higher education
institutions who are interested in developing their digital
>  and computational skills. We will also consider applications from
professionals: please get in touch if you want to discuss whether this course is
suitable for your needs.
>
> The Summer School is an intensive, 5-day, in-person event, with a practical
focus. The course is comprised of two parallel streams
>  to accommodate different skill levels. The two streams are A Gentle
Introduction to Coding for Data Analysis and Text & Data Analysis in the Wild.
No previous knowledge of coding is required to attend the first stream, a
general knowledge of the RStudio interface
>  and coding is required to attend the second.
>
>
> Details of each stream are as follows:
>
> A Gentle Introduction to Coding for Data Analysis
>
> This course is designed for researchers who are complete beginners with no
prior knowledge of coding and data analysis. Through
>  instruction and exercises, attendees will learn how to code in Python,
starting from the basics and building to create an interactive dashboard with
live data. The course explores the basics of programming: variables, functions,
loops, operating on data structures,
>  data wrangling, and visualisation. By the end of the course, attendees will
understand how to bridge the gap between humans and computers, and how to apply
the skills they have learnt to their own data analysis and research. This course
is intended to be a
>  foundation for those intending to start a journey towards analysing
Humanities and Social Sciences research data.
>
>
> Text & Data Analysis in the Wild>
>
> This course is designed to help researchers with coding experience understand
how data and text analysis projects are performed
>  in a research environment. It starts with identifying a series of research
questions connected to this year’s core topic (Living in Scotland Past and
Present). Then it explores how computational methods can be used to obtain,
clean, and analyse structured
>  and unstructured datasets in R to answer those questions. Topics will include
data wrangling, web scraping, text analysis, sentiment analysis, statistics, and
data visualisation.
>
>
> The two streams will come together for refreshment breaks, the social
programme, and the keynote lecture by Professor Melissa
>  Terras on the 10th of June. This will be followed by a reception.
>
> The general registration fee for the Summer School is £250. This fee is waived
for University of Edinburgh students and staff.
>  If you are an
>  SGSAH-funded doctoral researcher, you may be considered for a supported
place.
>
> You can find more information on the event and how to apply on our website.
>
> Applications will close on the 3rd of May.
