📆 10th UK Address Matcher: High performance free address matching software with Tom Hepworth:

_Address matching is a common challenge when working with messy, inconsistent, or incomplete address data. In this webinar, we’ll introduce uk_address_matcher, an open-source Python package for matching UK addresses to canonical address datasets such as Ordnance Survey AddressBase or OS NGD. We’ll demonstrate how the package can be used to run fast, transparent, and reproducible address matching workflows, including how to interpret match scores and choose appropriate thresholds. The session will also introduce ukam_os_builder, a companion package that helps users quickly access and prepare Ordnance Survey data under PSGA licensing, making it easier to get started with high-quality reference data. The webinar will include practical examples and discussion of how these tools can support robust analytical pipelines.

📆 15th & 16th Introduction to R and R Studio with Zoë Turner:

_From ‘Hello World’ to producing a basic report.

This introduction takes you from no knowledge of R to teaching you the basics of the R studio environment, then loading in some data, some common data wrangling tasks, some charting and finishing with pulling it all together to produce a simple automated report.

No previous knowledge is required. This workshop will utilise the cloud, with all datasets provided as part of the course material, so no specialist set up is required._
