R and APIs - Statistics Denmark In-Person
About the winter school
As a new initiative, KUB Datalab has organised a so-called winter school. The aim is to give participants the opportunity to engage intensively with R for an entire week. You will therefore be able to tailor a programme that suits your specific needs and level of experience. Please note that you must register for each course individually.
In short, it is up to you whether you wish to register for one or more courses.
