The R user group at the University of Manchester (R.U.M) is a special interest group for staff and PG students that exists to bring together R users of all levels to share R best practices, expertise and knowledge for the benefit of all.

The activities and meetings of the R.U.M have been on pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but will restart in March 2023 under the stewardship of Research IT who currently deliver R training in the form of “Data Analysis with R” course. We hope that the group will be of benefit to all our R Users at the University.

While we work on the relaunch of R.U.M., we have created a new online space on Microsoft Teams - “The R User Group channel“ - to bring together R Users to:

• improve their knowledge of R
• share expertise
• find technical advice

“The R User Group channel “ can be found under the Computation and Data in Research (CaDiR) umbrella in Microsoft Teams. Please click this link to join CaDiR if you are not already a member.

By joining the CaDiR space, you will also gain access to a number of other special interest groups. Once onboard, you can then choose which channels you wish to receive notifications for.

We look forward to seeing you on the R User Group Channel!
