Europe/Berlin timezone

The Hub of Computing and Data Science will host an RSE day in the Science City Bahrenfeld. The event is tailored for scientists and software developers working in Research Software Engineering, as well as for those interested in the field. It aims to strengthen our community in Hamburg, share experiences, and showcase our work. As the requirements for sustainable research software increase, we see the potential to build a community of practice that meets regularly and leverages synergies in the metropolitan area.

Research Software Engineers (RSEs) specialize in developing and maintaining software that supports scientific research. They combine software engineering expertise with a deep understanding of research methods and domain knowledge in specific scientific fields. They create tools, applications, and computational models that enable data analysis, simulations, and visualizations for their own research or for collaborating researchers.

That means RSEs are crucial for bridging the gap between advanced computing and scientific inquiry, ensuring that software solutions are robust, efficient, and tailored to researchers' needs.

If you feel you belong to this community, you are invited to submit an abstract for a poster presentation showcasing your work and a complementary lightning talk.

This event will provide a platform for lively discussions through lightning talks, a Bar Camp session, and community engagement during the poster sessions. Two keynote presentations will round out the program by offering insights into successfully implemented RSE. Hopefully, it will generate new ideas and help identify collaboration opportunities.
