What we’re about
This is a local chapter of R-Ladies Global (https://www.rladies.org), an organisation that promotes gender diversity in the R community worldwide. We meetup in person or virtually to learn about the R programming language, algorithms and advanced tools.
R-Ladies welcomes members of all R proficiency levels, whether you're a new or aspiring R user, or an experienced R programmer interested in mentoring, networking & expert upskilling. Our community is designed to develop our members' R skills & knowledge through social, collaborative learning & sharing. Supporting minority identity access to STEM skills & careers, the Free Software Movement, and contributing to the global R community!
We are pro-actively inclusive of queer, trans, and all minority identities, with additional sensitivity to intersectional identities. Our priority is to provide a safe community space for anyone identifying as a minority gender who is interested in working with R. As a founding principle, there is no cost or charge to participate in any of our R-Ladies communities around the world. You can access our presentations, R scripts, and Projects on our Github account (https://github.com/rladies) and follow us on twitter (https://twitter.com/RLadiesGlobal) to stay up to date about R-Ladies news!

OnlineR-Ladies Cologne are hosting another event! We are excited to have Veerle Eeftink - van Leemput with us, who will share her insights into the world of LLMs 🚀
✨When LLMs guess, tools know: tool calling in R with ellmer ✨
Large language models are great at sounding confident… and occasionally great at being wrong. Counting things? Doing some calculations? Analysing data? Not their finest moments. In this talk, we’ll look at how R, ellmer, and a bit of tool calling can turn “educated guesses” into real, reliable, reproducible results. We’ll break down what tool calling actually is, why it matters, and how to use it to make LLMs far more useful in real applications. Expect practical examples, a peek behind the curtain of how these models work, and a few tips and tricks to work successfully with LLMs!
If you’re up for joining us, RSVP here to get the access.
