Munich RSE Community
Our group is the place to meet other research software engineers in Munich. We aim for a meeting every two months, followed by dinner and networking.
Our meetings include short talks about anything related to RSE (research data management, software development, teaching/training, and more), as well as open discussions on topics brought into the agenda by any attendee.
A part of our group (with unfortunately many people missing) met at deRSE25.

Contact
We organize ourselves mainly over the Mailing list and a Matrix channel. Definitely join us there to learn about upcoming events and other activities.
For questions regarding the group, feel free to contact, for example:
- Larissa Leiminger - MPDL
- Martin Spenger - LMU
- Gerasimos Chourdakis - Univ. Stuttgart / TUM
Sprache: Um die Reichweite der Gruppe zu maximieren und mit Rücksicht auf die vielen nicht-deutschen Studenten, Doktoranden und Forscher in München, ist die Arbeitssprache der Gruppe Englisch. Natürlich bleibt Deutsch immer eine Option für die Diskussionen.
