Learning Network: A collaborative network for knowledge sharing and skill-building

Welcome to R-Ladies Rome, local chapter of R-Ladies Global, an organization that promotes gender diversity in the R programming community worldwide. Our community is designed to develop our members’ R skills and knowledge through social, collaborative learning and sharing, supporting minority identity access to STEM skills and careers, the Free Software Movement, and contributing to the global R community.

At R-Ladies Rome, we welcome members of all R proficiency levels, whether you’re a new or aspiring R user, or an experienced R programmer interested in mentoring, networking, and expert up-skilling. Our priority is to provide a safe community space for anyone identifying as a minority gender who is interested in working with R. We are pro-actively inclusive of queer, trans, and all minority identities, with additional sensitivity to intersectional identities.

Our community meets regularly in person or virtually to learn about the R programming language, algorithms, and advanced tools. We organize events such as workshops, meetups, and conferences to teach R programming skills, share knowledge and experiences, and build a community of R users. We also provide training and development opportunities for our members, including online courses, mentorship programs, and other resources to help members improve their R programming skills.

R-Ladies Rome is committed to research and advocacy efforts related to gender diversity in the R community. We conduct surveys, publish reports, and advocate for policies and practices that promote gender diversity and inclusion. We also provide a platform for our members to share their experiences and contribute to the global R community.

Join us today and become a part of our supportive community of R users. You can access our presentations, R scripts, and projects on our GitHub account and follow us on Twitter to stay up to date about R-Ladies news. Remember, there is no cost or charge to participate in any of our R-Ladies communities around the world.
