About

Cloud-SPAN is a collaboration between the University of York and The Software Sustainability Institute funded by the UKRI Innovation Scholars award. Project Reference: MR/V038680/1.

Cloud-SPAN trains researchers, and the research software engineers that support them, to run specialised analyses on cloud-based high-performance computing infrastructure. We are developing highly accessible resources which integrate with existing Carpentries courses.

This set of lessons is based on the Data Carpentries Genomics Workshop.

Our Handbook

The Cloud-SPAN team are dedicated to providing a welcoming and supportive environment for all people, regardless of background or identity. We hope to develop a community of practice around our materials. We have a Handbook that gives:

Cloud-SPAN is a part of the The UKRI Digital Research Skills Catalyst, a new national training platform built on six years of collaborative work across seven UK universities. It brings together peer-reviewed training materials covering programming, statistics, machine learning, data stewardship, and more, alongside direct one-to-one support from research software engineers and data scientists.

The Catalyst Project is funded by UKRI Digital Research Infrastructure Programme from October 2024 to March 2027. Project reference: UKRI/ST/B000299/1.
