Working Groups

Within the society, the rule of working groups is to coordinate and support project-related tasks and duties. There are processes to help with the governance and work of the working groups. Especially, we have processes in place to found and operate working groups. The focus of those processes is to support required workflows while not restricting the actual work of the groups.

This page describes the processes and existing working groups.

AI4RSE (with GI)

Lead
Lukas Netz
Lifetime
TBA
Goal
The goal of the working group is to assess the current uses and challenges of AI in the context of RSE. This is done in three steps, starting with a survey within the scientific community to gain a broad overview of relevant focal points. The next step involves using the survey results to organize a workshop where key topics can be discussed in detail, and potential solutions and research topics can be developed. Finally, the insights and experiences from the first two steps will be summarized in a report or white paper and made available to the community.
