UK Data Service Webinars: all sorts of data from all over…
From January, the UK Data Service will be rolling out a programme of 26 regular webinars throughout the year. These will cover a collection of 14 core topics. A flyer listing the topics and dates is available at http://ukdataservice.ac.uk/media/455322/core-webinars-2015.pdf.
Webinars are online seminars which are free and easy to join without the expense and trouble of travel any further than to your own computer.
To book or to find out more about the wider programme of outreach and training events including their specialist and one-off webinars please go to ukdataservice.ac.uk/news-and-events
