* We develop and maintain training material on software best practices for researchers that already write code. Our material addresses all academic disciplines and tries to be as programming language-independent as possible.
* We offer training opportunities:

* Carpentries 2-day workshops in the Nordics (6 workshops each year). The workshop fee is on us, only the instructor travel is on the host institution.
* CodeRefinery workshops to grow researchers' software best practices skills. These workshops aim at consolidating knowledge learnt during Carpentries workshops and focus on teaching professional tools for efficiently developing and maintaining research software. In-person workshops are typically 3 days, while online workshops are typically 6 half days over 2 weeks.

### Membership with [The Carpentries](https://carpentries.org)

Since November 2018, [NeIC](https://neic.no) is a [platinum
partner](https://carpentries.org/members/) to [The
Carpentries](https://carpentries.org), an international project that comprises
[Software Carpentry](https://software-carpentry.org) and [Data
Carpentry](https://www.datacarpentry.org), communities of instructors,
trainers, maintainers, helpers, and supporters who share a mission to teach
foundational computational and data science skills to researchers.

With this we have access to:

- 6 [Carpentries workshops](https://carpentries.org/workshops/) in the Nordics each year. The workshop fee is on us, only the instructor travel is on the host institution.
- 15 seats in the [Carpentries instructor training](https://carpentries.github.io/instructor-training/) each year.

Carpentry workshops last 2 days. Software Carpentry workshops include
introductory lessons on Unix shell, version control with Git and
programming in Python or R. Data Carpentry workshops are usually
tailored to specific scientific disciplines. An overview of Carpentry
curricula can be [found here](https://carpentries.org/workshops-curricula/)

Please [get in touch](/get-involved/) if you would like to host a Carpentry workshop or become an instructor.


#### Level of Carpentry workshops

Carpentries workshops focus on creating a motivating and engaging environment for
learners with no or little digital skills while our three day workshops are the next
step.
For beginners who don't yet write code but want to get started, we
highly recommend attending a [Software Carpentry workshop](https://software-carpentry.org).

There is no requirement for using our training material. However,
we suggest that most instructors start with [Carpentries instructor

this mostly serves as a complement focused on our lessons and more
intermediate users.

CodeRefinery reserves 15 seats per year for Carpentries instructor training. Please [get in
