Tutorial submissions for useR! 2022 are now closed
Introduction
useR! 2022 is an all-virtual conference.
Every year useR! offers attendees tutorials to stay up to date on R-related technologies and learn new skills. The conference is for R users at any level in all sectors (including researchers, government officers, and industry representatives); we welcome tutorials that focus on the applicability of R in practical settings.
Each tutorial should be between two and three hours, including time for breaks. Tutorials should have hands-on exercises or examples for participants.
To better serve the global audience that useR! is building, we will accept proposals for tutorials to be taught in English, Spanish or French. The proposal must be submitted in English regardless of the language you plan to teach in.
The tutorial materials (including recordings of virtual tutorials) will be shared online after the conference, with the consent of the organizers, instructors, and attendees.
The organization will pay USD $500 for tutorials that are selected.
