In a pilot workshop this week we taught our new lesson materials about Natural Language Processing for the first time. We thank all the participants for the positive and constructieve feedback we received.
We will be offering the workshop in 2026. We'll keep you posted!
November was filled with seminars, conferences and workshops and the eScience Center was very busy gathering and disseminating knowledge. In our November Roundup we share just a few of the interesting events organised in the research software community. ๐ www.esciencecenter.nl/news/novembe...

At the eScience Center we pride ourselves on sharing stories about our work and our projects. We sometimes need a little push to get started, especially when you have a lot of ideas in you head. RSE @pabrod.bsky.social has just the scheme to remove that writers block.
