deRSE20 - 2nd International Conference for Research Software Engineers in Germany, 25-27 August 2020

Dear RSE community!

Due to the current SARS-CoV-2 virus/COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided to cancel deRSE20 - 2nd International Conference for Research Software Engineers in Germany, planned to take place from 25-27 August in Jena, Germany. We have made this decision with a heavy heart, but - given the current situation - did not see any other way to eliminate any risks for attendees and organizers.

But there is a silver lining! We are working with other national RSE initiatives to create an alternative mode for facilitating exchange about Research Software Engineering. Please consider submitting your contributions to this new format: SORSE - International Series of Online Research Software Events! Read more…

The 1st International Conference for Research Software Engineers in Germany last year in June in Potsdam was a great success. Therefore we are very happy to announce that planning for the 2nd International Conference for Research Software Engineers in Germany has started!

We are aware of holidays during this time in some federal states, but are bound to this date by the availability of the venue.

It is our continued aim in 2020 to focus on the diversity of topics and people in Research Software Engineering, and enable lively exchanges across the whole spectrum of research software. For a first impression of some of the topics that were covered in June, have a look at the video recordings on the TIB AV portal.

The community is also planning for a co-located NFDI event.
