ADACS were again invited to contribute a training workshop at the annual HWSA (Harley Wood School for Astronomy). The theme for this year was “computing, careers, and dark matter”. ADACS developed four short courses that focused on developing skills for computing and careers, while the dark matter theme was covered off by astronomy experts.
The workshop was hosted at the picturesque spring bay mill, Triabunna, Tasmania.
The four short courses were:
The courses were run as software carpentry style workshops, and the materials for the course can be found on the course website.

Most ECRs do not receive any formal training in critical software engineering skills. The ASA (Astronomical Society of Australia) collaborated with ADACS to run an intensive workshop to address this knowledge gap.
This training is designed to teach researchers project management skills that can make both their personal and collaborative projects more efficient.
