+## Goal
+
+Enable the participants to write their own scripts in R to automatically
+evaluate data and solve recurring or labourious tasks by automation.
+
+## Content
+
+The course will introduce basic concepts of the language.
+Emphasis will be put on live coding (i.e. learners write their code along with
+the instructors) and overcoming the initial learning hurdles together.
+Hands-on exercises give the opportunity to test the newly acquired knowledge.

+Neither prior knowledge nor experience in the area is needed.
+Participants are asked to bring their own computer on which they can install
+software.
+Detailed instructions will be made available on the workshop website.
