What is Micro-credentials:Micro-credentials consist of one or several courses. The scope is expressed in ECTS credits [study credits] guaranteeing high-quality standards and certification. These short learning packages are meant to easily combine with a job. Micro-credentials equip you with the skills to remain competitive  and are accredited by Flemish universities and promoted by the Flemish government, and the European Commission.Course Context:The scientific method is historically linked to the possibility that other researchers can replicate and verify its results. As scientific analysis becomes more complex and interdisciplinary, ensuring reproducibility becomes more challenging specially in fields that combine different expertise. To promote transparency, consistency and robustness in science, journals, funders, and institutions are encouraging the use of tools and practices that enhance reproducibility. Learn about version control, containers, pipelines and data reproducibility. This will steer you towards the reproducibility of your research, as well as the impact and reliability of research findings and methods. Moreover, using the methods introduced here you can collaborate and experiment in ways that allow reproducibility and creativity to coexist and thrive.This course = 3 ECTS emmited by UGent university
