Help needed: We are losing our office


We are finally in the process of incorporating the Digital Research Academy and just when we need it least, I get a notice that my office lease will be terminated by end of July...and with that we are losing the headquarters of the DRA.

Munich is a difficult city to find affordable offices, so I am hoping that you can help us.

I love my office. It not only comes with a stable internet connection, but also with nice office neighbors (who are also looking for a new space), a nice view into the trees, and it's neither too close to home nor too far a way.

My office is also the physical headquarters for the Digital Research Academy.

Now we are looking for something new, as our current office space will be repurposed. We have been looking for two weeks now, but small and affordable offices are difficult to find in Munich.

So, we need help: Do you know of any potential offices? Please send them our way!

What are we looking for?

  • Office in Munich, optimally in the west, south, or center.
  • <500€ per month, optimally including internet, heating, and electricity.
  • No furniture needed. I will bring my current stuff.
  • Open space or co-working is not an option as I have many calls and teach online courses.
  • We're happy to sublet and sharing a kitchen and bathroom with others would be a plus.
  • We receive almost no visitors, because we meet clients online or at their offices.
  • We need the office to be our business address, so a (shared) letter box would be required.

Any ideas? Let me know!

Thank you and all the best,

Heidi (and the DRA team)


P.S. The next newsletters will be sent out on Fridays again. I just felt like sending this out earlier was a good idea.

Quarto book example

New frameworks for course websites are popping up all the time. In this post, I'll review some of them. Today I want to talk about three interesting frameworks for building course websites: Quarto, the Carpentries Workbench, and Nebula. All of them rely on the use of Markdown and are thus easy to version control, reproducible, and reusable. They’re all pretty handy when teaching software skills, as they allow incorporating code in a straight-forward way. Quarto Websites / Books Website Docs /...

Sketchnotes email course

Taking notes and drawing little images helps me think, but they are also helpful to others. Would sketchnoting also be for you? I started sketchnoting by taking notes about scientific presentations and meetings. They help me think and keep me focused on what is said. If used to find it very hard to concentrate during presentations and I found a couple of ways to focus on what is said and trying to really understand it. One of them is making myself come up with questions about the talk (a...

collaboration iceberg

Too many code projects in research are done by a single person. Keep reading on why that's bad and how to do better. It’s been a while since my last post. Founding the Digital Research Academy, holidays and LOTS AND LOTS of workshops and events have taken all my time. But it’s time to start writing again. One of the workshops I taught since my last post was on collaborative coding at the wonderful RSE summer school at KIT (click through the timetable to find all kinds of cool materials)....
