Swiss Statistics Meeting - Renku: a platform for transparent and reproducible data-centric work

The Swiss Statistics Meeting took place on Sept. 4th and 5th 2024 in Aarau (Switzerland) and brought together specialists related to the statistics domain across private and public sectors. Multiple presentations contributed to discuss developments in research and methodological questions related to data across the data lifecycle, including topics such as data sources, data collection and management, data analysis, open data, and data security among others.

Our contribution “Renku: a platform for transparent and reproducible data-centric work” focused on those Renku features in Renku 2.0 that make it a unique platform to support transparent data-centric work. Renku connects to public and private data sources, and to code repositories. These data and code come to life in Renku sessions, where data scientists, statisticians and other practitioners can work in their prefererred compute environment (Python, RStudio, Matlab, VSCode or others) with the compute infrastructure that they select. Having data, code, and compute under the same umbrella makes it easier to share data-related work within the same team and with the broader community.
