Agentic coding with R workshop | R bloggers

Join our workshop at Agentic encryption with R, which is part of our Workshops for Ukraine series!

Title: Agentic encryption with R

Date: Thursday April 2, 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM CET (time zone Rome, Berlin, Paris)

Speaker: Charles Crabtree is a political scientist and senior lecturer at Monash University’s School of Social Sciences. His research is at the intersection of political behavior, discrimination and research methods, with his work spanning experiments, text analysis and large-scale observational data.

Description: This workshop introduces agentic coding for R: using AI assistants that can help you plan, write, execute, and revise multi-step analysis workflows while keeping your work transparent and reproducible. Using Warp.dev as a concrete interface, we’ll walk through practical patterns for (1) turning messy research tasks into clear, auditable steps, (2) writing R code securely, (3) generating documentation and analysis notes as you work, and (4) developing a paper trail that you can share with co-authors or future selves. A key focus is adversarial agentic coding: pairing a “builder” agent with a separate “reviewer” agent that attempts to break, check, and improve the code the first agent produced – stress-testing assumptions, finding silent errors, and proposing solutions. The emphasis is not on quick tricks, but on reliable habits: how to restrain the agent, verify the output, and integrate the agent’s help into real projects (data cleaning, modeling, tables and figures, and report generation). Participants leave with copy-paste templates that they can reuse immediately.

Minimum registration fee: 20 euros (or 20 USD or 800 UAH)

Please note that registration confirmation will be sent to all registered participants 1 day before the workshop and not immediately after registration

• Fill the registration formwhere you attach a screenshot of a donation receipt (attach the screenshot of the donation receipt emailed to you instead of the page you see after the donation).

If you are not interested in attending, you can also contribute by sponsoring a student’s participation, who can then participate for free. If you choose to sponsor a student, all proceeds also go directly to organizations working in Ukraine. You can sponsor a specific student or you can leave it up to us so that we can allocate the sponsored spot to students who have signed up for the waiting list.

How can I sponsor a student?

• Save your donation receipt (after the donation has been processed, there is an option to enter your email address on the website to which the donation receipt is sent)

• Fill the sponsorship formattaching the screenshot of the donation receipt (attach the screenshot of the donation receipt emailed to you instead of the page you see after the donation). You can indicate whether you want to sponsor a specific student or we can allocate this place ourselves to the students on the waiting list. You can also indicate whether you would prefer that we give priority to students from developing countries when allocating the place(s) you sponsor.

If you are a university student and cannot afford the registration fee, you can also sign up for the waiting list here. (Please note that joining the waitlist does not guarantee participation).

You can also find more information about this workshop series, a schedule of our future workshops, and a list of our past workshops, recordings and materials of which you can obtain. here.

I look forward to seeing you during the workshop!
