On October 25 and 26, two international webinars will take place, organized by Fiocruz's Vice-Presidency for Education, Information and Communication (VPEIC), in a partnership involving the Fiocruz Hub team [1] at the Fiocruz Global Health Network (TGHN Fiocruz) with other institutions: the webinar “Introduction to R for Health Data Science” (October 25) and “Using Data and Interdisciplinary Concepts in Research: The Trajectories Project” (October 26). Both events will have simultaneous translation into English, Portuguese and Spanish and will be broadcast on Zoom.
The webinar “Introduction to R for Health Data Science” starts at 8 am (Brasília), 12 pm (UK) on October 25 with speakers from Oxford University in the UK, the International Center for Diarrheal Disease Research in Bangladesh (icddr,b) and the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio) who are already using R programming and its applications in health data research. R is an open-source programming language used to interact with data science in terms of data manipulation, analysis and visualization. Register until the event day via the Zoom platform [2] and read the article on the TGHN/Fiocruz page for more details [3].
The event on the 26th, entitled “Using Data and Interdisciplinary Concepts in Research: The Trajectories Project”, takes place at 9 am (Brasília), 1 pm (UK) and has been organized along with the Fiocruz Scientific Computing Program (Procc /Fiocruz). In this webinar, the speakers will present the Trajectories Project dataset, which gathers economic, environmental and health data, and its objectives. The Trajectories Project was created in a partnership between Fiocruz, the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) and the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq). It is one of the SinBiose/CNPq synthesis projects. You can register for the webinar via the Zoom platform [4] until the day of the event. Read the full article on the TGHN/Fiocruz website. [5]
