Reverse Hybrid Workshop Series
Hands-on training across multiple HPC.nrw locations
The HPC.nrw reverse-hybrid workshop series returns for the 2026/27 winter semester with new dates, offering participants another opportunity to strengthen their practical skills in using key tools for scientific data processing. The focus is on the programming languages Python and R, as well as efficient use of Linux environments and version control with Git, which are essential foundations for modern research and HPC workflows.
The sessions are conducted virtually by instructors based in Bonn and streamed live to multiple HPC.nrw locations. Participants attend on site at their respective locations and receive individual support from assistants during questions and practical exercises. This creates a hands-on training format that effectively combines the advantages of in-person and online teaching.
The next course unit, Introduction to Programming with R, will take place on November 18 and 19, 2026.
The reverse hybrid format not only promotes knowledge exchange but also fosters networking within the HPC.nrw community. Through cross-location collaboration, a vibrant network is created that sustainably strengthens the exchange between universities, researchers, and HPC experts.
