Research Software Engineering Community

Software is ubiquitous in modern research and its quality has a direct impact on the quality of research. The Research Software Engineering Community connects Research Software Engineers (RSEs), increases their visibility and works towards the recognition of their importance in science.

Although this website (still) has an ethz.ch domain, the community is not intended to be ETHZ only and we invite everyone who identifies as an RSE to join us and participate in our events.

New: Check out our map of ongoing RSE community building activities in Switzerland!
