 # Coding for Reproducible Research (CfRR) Training Programme Home Page
-This training programme provides a series of workshops to support researchers at the University of Exeter to expand their skillsets and position them to perform informatics research projects in an efficient and reproducible way. The programme covers not only training on specific languages, such as Python, R, and Unix/Linux, but additionally incorporates training relating to good practise and reproducible working methods that is designed to be agnostic of programming language. In this way we offer a holistic perspective as to how programming tasks should be approached, ultimately providing researchers with the tools and knowledge to feel confident in conducting their research. All workshops are open to any staff or student, from any college or department and are accessible from any campus.
+## Mission Statement 
+Coding for Reproducible Research (CfRR) actively supports the delivery of the university’s Strategy 2030 commitment to research excellence through an open, ethical and supportive research culture while ensuring its community is well-equipped to capitalize on the opportunities presented by technology, big data and artificial intelligence. 
+
+It offers an annual series of workshops for all registered staff and students, supporting colleagues in developing their digital skills and enabling them to confidently progress technical aspects of their work, such as data processing and interrogation, in an efficient and reproducible manner. 
+
+CfRR offers hands-on courses, supplemented by freely available self-study materials, on programming and data science, including guidance on good practice and reproducibility, providing opportunities for novices through to experts to further their skills.
