DSTrain is a 5-year postdoctoral programme that will award 36 postdoctoral fellowship positions of 36 months each in two calls over the programme period within the overarching frame of data science. The programme will train researchers and innovators with disciplinary, interdisciplinary and transferable skills and a foundation in data science methods enabling them to become Europe’s digital leaders across disciplines and sectors.
First call has been completed. New call will be announced in January 2025. Stay tuned.

Join the dScience lunch seminar, featuring Sondre Wold, as he explores the intriguing challenges of compositional generalisation in language models. Despite their remarkable capabilities, large language models often falter on simple tasks, exposing limitations in their ability to understand and combine basic elements into complex structures. Sondre will delve into his research and recent international work, shedding light on where these models fall short and discussing potential strategies for improvement.
Join us for the DSTrain Kick-Off Seminar on 8th November 2024 at the University of Oslo’s Georg Sverdrups Hus. This event marks the launch of DSTrain’s postdoctoral programme, with sessions on data science research, career development, and cross-sectoral opportunities. Meet the project’s supervisors, hear pitches from 16 postdocs, and enjoy a valuable networking experience.
Master the essentials of version control with a hands-on introduction to git and GitHub. This workshop covers the basics, guiding you through practical demos, collaborative projects, and advanced features, ensuring you can manage code versions efficiently. Ideal for researchers, PhD students, and postdocs with some programming experience.
The workshop takes place over two days: Monday, 11th November, 09:00-12:00, and Thursday, 14th November, 13:00-16:00.
