This concerns active, ie currently running projects, as well as the preparation and submission of grants.
If you would like to talk to us about any of these topics, please consult the contact page on how to best reach us.
Regarding all of the above-mentioned aspects, SPARK
is providing regular training
via open educational resources
, free for everyone to use. These materials can used as a self-learning resource
and are taught as modules
with instructors from the SPARK team
. Importantly, across all, only open-source and free tools are being utilized in order to allow everyone to participate.
You can find the current list of modules
below:
If you have a question concerning the materials, please consult the contact page on how to best reach us or use the respective GitHub
repository or the hypothes.is
feature on the module
website.
SPARK
is committed to foster an open and inclusive environment for everyone feels safe and supported. We therefore focus on creating respective opportunities and spaces for people to come and work together. There are enough "science islands" and we have to work towards building bridges and changing the defaults.
If that's something that's interesting to you, please have a look at our corresponding efforts below:
If you would like to join for any of these, please feel free to just stop by or consult the contact page on how to best reach us.
Given our mission, we aim to make as much of our work publicly available, no matter of code, datasets, etc. . To make this outcomes as FAIR
as possible we follow existing standards and best practices, as well as utilize a wide range of community-supported platforms. Please make sure to also check out our presence there.
