πŸŽ₯ Watch video to see the highlights

The 2nd SARA Bootcamp brings together researchers, students, and academics for three days of intensive, practical learning on how to write, format, and publish research using Quarto and R - two of the most powerful open-source tools in modern research communication.

SARA believes research produced by and about marginalized communities must be heard. This bootcamp equips you with the tools to publish that research professionally, reproducibly, and beautifully.


Proudly Supported by The Ambedkar Educational Society, Sonipat

We are grateful to the Ambedkar Educational Society, Sonipat for generously supporting the 2nd SARA Bootcamp. As part of their commitment to empowering marginalized communities through education, the Society is providing subsidized accommodation support for all participants during the five-day program.

This collaboration enables us to:

  • Keep the bootcamp completely free of tuition fees

  • Offer affordable and shared accommodation

  • Provide nutritious meals for all participants

The support from the Ambedkar Educational Society ensures that students from all socioeconomic backgrounds can attend the program without financial barriers and participate fully in the learning experience.
