The MMU R User Group exists to bring together R users of all levels, with interests in diverse fields from across the University to exchange tips, ideas and knowledge for the benefit of all.

We have been sponsored by the R Consortium this year with a vector level grant! We are really grateful to them for this support, please take a moment to read the Code of Conduct for supported R Groups below or on our ‘aims and format’ page.
