Reproductible Research II : Pratiques et outils pour gérer les calculs et les données

28 avril 2026

Nouvelle session : ouverture du 5 mai au 31 décembre 2026 !

Following the success of the MOOC Reproducible research: methodological principles for transparent science, the authors continue exploring reproducibility with a focus on massive data and complex calculations. These two MOOCs complement each other and offer a coherent training program on the subject.

In this second MOOC Reproducible Research II: Practices and tools for managing computations and.., you will learn:

  • how to manage large datasets and complex computations in controlled software environments
    • formats such as JSON, FITS, and HDF5
    • platforms like Zenodo and Software Heritage
    • tools like git-annex, Docker, Singularity, Guix, make, and Snakemake,
  • how to integrate them in a real-life use case: a sunspot detection study.

Authors: Arnaud Legrand (Computer science researcher, CNRS/LIG, Inria, UGA), Christophe Pouzat (Neurophysiologist, CNRS/MAP5 Univ. Paris Descartes) and Konrad Hinsen (Biophysicist, CNRS, Centre de biophysique moléculaire, Soleil).

Technical and engineering support: Matthieu Simonin (research engineer, Inria Rennes), Ludovic Courtès (research engineer, Inria Bordeaux) and Kim tâm Huynh (research engineer, Inria Paris).

Partners: with the support of Fonds national de la science ouverte
