1st and 2nd April 2019
The Farr Institute, 222 Euston Road, Kings Cross, London.
This 2 day short course is aimed at researchers who need to gain an understanding of data linkage techniques, or how the linkage process influences analysis of linked data. It is designed to give participants a practical introduction to data linkage and methods for those who might be using linked data in their own work.
