Hi,

We are looking for universities in the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, 
Iceland, Norway, Sweden) that are interested in hosting their first (!) 
Software Carpentry workshop <https://software-carpentry.org/workshops/> in the 
spring of 2018. We will apply for funds from the Nordic e-Infrastructure 
Collaboration (NeIC) available from their open call 
<https://neic.no/training/course-mobility/> for course mobility proposals.

We will apply for funds that cover these costs for four workshops:
Costs for the travel and lodging for two instructors, these will be recruited 
from the Nordic countries
The Software Carpentry workshop fee

What are we looking for:
Universities that have not yet hosted a Software Carpentry workshop (check out 
the maps of past <https://software-carpentry.org/workshops/past/> and upcoming 
<https://software-carpentry.org/workshops/> workshops)
A person willing to be the local contact person taking care of 
Finding a suitable room
Finding 3 or 4 helpers (local helpers to assist the learners, answer questions 
etc)
Announcing the workshop through appropriate channels
Helping the instructors with arranging travel and lodging

Software Carpentry will take care of workshop registration and instructor 
recruitment.

Interested in hosting a workshop? Please fill out this form:
