RSE Community meeting at WSL

A Research Software Engineer (RSE) is basically anyone who contributes a significant portion of their time to software/technical development for research. An RSE can be a scientist with a focus on programming as well as a software engineer with a connection to science. In the frame of the ETH Domain ORD Program M2: “Building a Research Software Engineering Community to Promote Open Science”, we are organizing a first RSE community meeting at WSL, in order to introduce and clarify the concept of RSE at WSL, to connect to the wider RSE community, and to exchange ideas for the future.

Agenda:

• 13:30 – 13:35 Welcome to the first RSE@WSL meeting (I. Iosifescu, WSL)

• 13:35 – 14:15 RSE Introductory presentations

  • “The RSE movement - An initiative to emphasize the importance of software in research and academia” (T. Chadha & U. Schmitt, ETH Zurich)
  • “The Development of RSE and Science IT Team at Empa” (A. Bachofner, A. Yakutovich, Empa)

• 14:15 – 15:00 Q&A and plenary discussions (all participants)

• 15:00 – 15:30 RSE networking session (optional)

If the topic of Research Software Engineering resonates with you, we are looking forward to your participation on 03.02.2025 at WSL Birmensdorf; please follow the blue line to get to Englersaal from the WSL entrance.
