    • Research software, data processing and analysis
    • Publication and presentation
  2. A total of at least 15 workshops or 5 ECTS-equivalent points must have been earned through workshops in the entire certificate program.

  • Research software (e.g. spreadsheets, OpenRefine, Git, SPSS, Python)
  • Publication and presentation (e.g. open access, literature management, writing weeks, LaTex, Adobe Indesign)
