Upcoming Training Workshops:
2025
Conference: 2025 Annual Conference of the Canadian Society for Ecology and Evolution
Date: July 6-9
Sherbrooke, Quebec
Workshop: Intro to Git and Github
Date: July 6
This workshop sponsored by the CIEE's the Living Data Project is organized by David Hunt (McGill University). This workshop will introduce participants to the basics of using Git and Github using a variety of hands-on exercises, as well as integrations with common coding platforms such as RStudio.

Workshop: Data Wrangling 101
Date: July 6
This workshop sponsored by CIEE's the Living Data Project is organized by Sandra Emry (University of BC) and David Hunt (McGill University). This workshop will introduce participants to the basics of organizing, combining, cleaning, and quality control of datasets in ecology and evolution. Using the R statistical language and RStudio, participants will be introduced to relevant packages, their capabilities, and basic examples of use.
Register here.
Symposium: Living the Data (Project) dream: how to make ecology more open, synthetic, reproductive and collaborative
Date: July 8
This symposium will explore how ecologists do ecology. There have been repeated calls for ecological research to become more reproducible, open and inclusive - but are we are making progress towards these goals? In this symposium we will examine both successes and challenges as we follow the research cycle from data collection to analysis to sharing and synthesis. This Symposium is organized by Diane Srivastava (CIEE) and Bruno Soares (University of Regina). Speakers include Srivastava, Tim Parker (Whitman College), Andrea Paz (Université de Montréal), Juan Carvajal-Quintero (Dalhousie University), Timothée Poisot (Université de Montréal), and Cristian Alexander Cruz Rodriguez (Université de Montréal).
Details here.
Workshop: Mathematical Ecology
Date: July 24-25
CIEE will co-sponsor this workshop at Queen’s University on theory, application and computational skills related to phylodynamics, the study of the processes that give rise to phylogenetic trees. This is a rapidly growing field fueled by the growth of genomic surveillance data. This workshop will aim to bring together researchers working in stochastic models of disease spread and evolution, perspectives from public health, and computational phylogenetics and statistical inference.
