Are you a student, PhD candidate, or staff member at the UG/UMCG working on a research project that involves coding/research software?

Join our Code Café, a supportive space where you can get expert help with your research software problems.

This 17 November, the eScience Center is visiting the Groningen Code Café.
Join the presentation and discussion for Local Training Hubs and Coding Cafes.

  • See how Coding Cafes and joint Carpentries workshops already work in practice
  • Meet nearby institutions and leave with a concrete next step


For instructors, researchers, training coordinators, data- and software stewards, RSEs, DCC and OSC coordinating members.

After the presentation (13:00-14:00), the Code Café will proceed as usual.

What to expect

  • Bring any research software problem or question, and our team will assist you on the spot. If you can't solve it right away, we'll point you in the right direction.
  • We have expertise in R, Python, HPC, Git/Github/Gitlab, Software Licensing, Software publishing and many other areas as well.
  • We will have a 10 minute talk on research software best practices at 13:15, but you can come in at any time between 13:00 and 16:00
  • Even if you don't have a specific question, you're welcome to join and work on your code in a relaxed, collaborative environment.

Ready to join? Drop by and let's code together!


This is a Research Support Hub workshop. The Research Support Hub is a CIT initiative to support all researchers and PhD-candidates throughout the University of Groningen on data management, geo-services, statistics, machine Learning, AI-tools and high performance computing.
