DESCRIPTION:ICTP Physics Without Frontiers (PWF)\, in collaboration with t
 he National Nuclear Research Institute of the Ghana Atomic Energy Commissi
 on and the School of Nuclear and Allied Sciences\, University of Ghana\, w
 ill organise a one-week training workshop from 9 to 13 November 2026 at th
 e Research Reactor Training Centre of the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission.\
 nThe workshop responds to a persistent challenge in higher education: many
  students are expected to undertake data-driven research but have limited 
 opportunities to develop practical skills in statistical modelling\, progr
 amming\, and machine learning.\nIt will bring together 30 undergraduate an
 d graduate students from physics\, mathematics\, engineering\, computer sc
 ience\, and related disciplines for intensive training in R and Python. To
 pics will include research data management\, open and responsible research
 \, author carpentry\, data preprocessing and visualisation\, statistical m
 odelling\, feature engineering\, model selection\, and model evaluation.\n
 Short lectures will be combined with guided coding sessions\, practical as
 signments\, real-world datasets\, and participant mini-projects. A career 
 and mentorship session\, together with a guided tour of the Accelerator Re
 search Centre\, will broaden participants' exposure to academic and profes
 sional pathways.\nBy the end of the programme\, participants are expected 
 to analyse and interpret data more confidently\, apply appropriate machine
 -learning methods\, and communicate evidence-based findings clearly. The w
 orkshop will also strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration and help buil
 d sustainable local capacity in data science and machine learning. Women a
 re strongly encouraged to apply.Speakers\n\n		Dr. Irene Opoku-Ntim\, Ghana
