+# CodeRefinery - A training network for research computing 
+
+- Project currently funded fully in-kind by partner organizations, hosted under [NeIC](https://neic.no/) until end 2026
+
+- Tightly connected to [Nordic RSE](https://nordic-rse.org/) community, but community goes beyond Nordics
+
+- Two main online workshops a year, free of charge, everyone welcome (short lectures + hands-on exercises, streamed live and recorded)
+
+- [13 large online and 29 in-person](https://coderefinery.org/workshops/past/) workshops, reaching over [500 persons/year](https://coderefinery.org/about/statistics/)
+
+- We teach topics which are .emph[helpful for researchers] and .emph[essential for RSEs]

+
+- Busy learners: 6 half days is a lot of time to reserve -> .emph[modularity and recordings]
+
+- .emph[Reminder] e-mails in the morning of the event 
+
+- Collaborative document needs to be .emph[managed], answers on different levels are appreciated
+
+- Day by day feedback with .emph[time to answer] during the course
+
+

+
+# What have we learned? (2/3) - stream & classrooms
+
+<br>
+
+- The format is unusual and requires some getting used to
+
+- Exercise session .emph[timing is crucial]
+
+- .emph[Clearly communicate] what learners are supposed to be doing
+
+- Separate registrations for keeping data where it needs to be
+
+- Needs cookies to bring people to the classrooms and advertizing expertize
+
+- Feedback from local hosts is invaluable for further developing the format, **Thank you <3**
+

+
+# What have we learned? (3/3) - teaching & development
+
+<br>
+
+- Co-teaching format does not work for everyone
+
+- Co-teaching needs .emph[practice and familiarity] -> 3 step onboarding before each workshops
+
+- .emph[Reserve time] for lesson + installation instruction maintenance
+
+- .emph[Lesson maintainers] to move lessons forward (avoid non-decisions, and keep contributors engaged)

+- Working on .emph[sustainability] beyond project -> Governance updates, manuals, uni curriculum integration, training on setup

+- Growing contributor community requires .emph[lesson maintainers]
+
+- More metadata and .emph[better contributor recognition]
