Introduction to iCAN Discovery Platform for new users

The iCAN data team and iCANDOC are running a one-day course Introduction to iCAN Discovery Platform on 12th of May 2025. The course is aimed for those iCAN Discovery Platform (iCAN-DP) users who have recently gained access and have little to no experience with using the platform.  

Programme includes hands-on exploration of the available data, metadata and analysis tools. The data team will demonstrate how these resources are used in practise. Participants are encouraged to follow along with their own computers, and will have the opportunity to troubleshoot and ask questions during the event. 

In addition, guest speakers from iCAN subprojects will showcase how they leverage resources within the iCAN-DP in their own research. Participants will also have an opportunity to discuss what data and tools are available to further your own research with data team members and guest speakers. 

Eligible participants* have been emailed with more information and the registration details. If you think you should have received this information, or would be interested in attending the course in the future, please contact ican-data@helsinki.fi 

*Only those on the iCAN permit and with access to the iCAN-DP can attend the course.
