What we’re about
A Hungarian group for wannabe, basic and expert R users dealing with data analysis, statistical modelling, visualization, data mining, statistical computing, predictive or exploratory data analysis, reporting and related topics. Besides meeting every 1-2 month to discuss R-related topics, we also concentrate on helping the group members to know each other better and advertising R a bit all over the country.

sum(1:9)^2 == 2025 || "vibe coding" %in% "R"
CEU Nador 15 building, Nádor utca 15, Budapest, HUVisiting the recent useR! 2025 conference reminded me how awesome the R community is and how much we missed in the past months by not meeting at local events, so let's fix that ... here we are!
This time, we will host a series of shorter talks covering a wide range of topics: from generating static webpages with R, through Shiny app use-cases, to more technical deep-dives and package demos. The final speaker lineup is still being finalized, and we would love to hear your ideas as well at https://forms.gle/tQheCDxfy1p4cZbe6
Confirmed speakers and topics:
- Eszter Ari (ELTE): Is it worth creating and maintaining a scientific CV and/or a group website using Quarto?
I created a website for my CV and started a group website using Quarto. However, I am still hesitant about whether this is the best solution to minimize maintenance while creating an eye-catching website. I am satisfied with the CV, e.g. the Publication part is updated automatically from a Google sheet. However, creating a modern website is a greater challenge for me, even with the help of LLMs. I will show my related successes and struggles, and I am very curious about your opinions.
- Balázs Farkas: Identifying traffic accident hotspots using DBSCAN and Shiny
I'm presenting a Shiny app that I built for my portfolio, using the DBSCAN algorithm to identify traffic accident hotspots in the UK.
- Bence Arató (BI Consulting): R in 2025: tRends and diRections
Looking at the current state of R from an industry perspective.
- Gergely Daroczi: Putting the R in Health
I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes ~half a year ago, so I decided to track my energy and carb intake, daily exercises, and blood glucose levels with minimal manual work ... automated with R! Since then, I'm in remission (~normal glucose levels) thanks to a strict diet and some lifestyle change -- and potentially to my R wiring and markdown reports as well 😎 I will highlight the related infrastructure (apps, APIs, databases) and some example results.
- More speakers to be announced.
Agenda:
- 18:00 Doors open
- 18:15 Talks @ N15 101 (1st floor)
- 19:30 Networking (pizza, soft drinks, wine)
- 20:30 End of meetup, optionally walking to a nearby pub
I'm looking forward to meeting you all in person soon! This event is co-organized with and kindly hosted by CEU ECBS. Food (pizza) and drinks will be served on-site after the talks, and we might also make table reservations in a nearby pub after the official event. Cover image credits: R User Community (LinkedIn).
