UWindsor Science Coding Study Group

An open science study group for, and by, UWindsor researchers & students.

We are a community of scientists, students, researchers and librarians who support each other in using computing skills for science and research.

Skill Sharing

Share your favourite coding skills and tools with your friends and colleagues in friendly, no-pressure work-alongs.

Co-Working

Get together to work on your coding projects, help each other out and share your work.

Community Building

Meet new people in your field, organization or community - and find out what we can do when we work together.

In-person events


Join our study group in person as we work on our projects together, and attend related workshops. All events are free to join. Simply drop-in during any one of our co-working sessions, and sign-up for the free Library workshops. Check out the calendar for all events and details.

Co-working

Bring your work, your laptop and your code and let's work together. This is a place to work on your project and ask each other questions as needed. No TAs - just mutual support from folks working on related topics.
