This immersive 2.5-day event is open to all Penn State faculty, staff, and students and offers a hands-on introduction to open science practices that can enhance research transparency, rigor, and impact.

The Bootcamp will cover:

• What open scholarship is and why it matters
• Ethical and practical considerations of openness
• Tools and workflows for reproducible research (including R, R Markdown, Quarto, Python, and Jupyter Notebooks)
• How to manage data and get credit for sharing data and materials

Enjoy continental breakfasts and light lunches (with vegan and vegetarian options), connect with colleagues, and develop practical skills to bring openness to your research.

Please note: Space is limited, and registration is a commitment to attend all sessions of the Bootcamp.
