domain knowledge

The Hub of Computing and Data Science will hold an RSE day in the Science City Bahrenfeld. The event is tailored to scientists and software developers working in Research Software Engineering and people interested in the field. It aims to strengthen our community in Hamburg, share experiences, and showcase our work. As the requirements for sustainable research software increase, we see the potential to build a community of practice that meets regularly and tries to leverage synergies in the metropolitan area.

Research Software Engineers (RSEs) specialize in developing and maintaining software that supports scientific research. They combine software engineering expertise with a deep understanding of research methods and domain knowledge in specific scientific fields.

That means RSEs are crucial in bridging the gap between advanced computing and scientific inquiry, ensuring that software solutions are robust, efficient, and tailored to researchers' needs.

If you feel you belong to this community, you are invited to submit an abstract for a poster showing your work and complementary lightning talks.

This event will provide a platform for lively discussions with lightning talks and community engagement during the poster sessions. Two keynote presentations will round out the program by providing insights into successfully implemented RSE. Hopefully, it will generate new ideas and help find collaboration options.

The Hub of Computing and Data Science (HCDS) warmly invites researchers, RSEs, and developers to come together and:

• connect with peers across disciplines and institutions
• discover real-world RSE applications in science
• share ideas, tools, and experiences
• gain visibility for their work

Call for Posters

We invite you to showcase your work in our poster session — a great opportunity to present your projects, get feedback, and spark new collaborations.

All poster presenters can also give a 3-minute lightning talk to introduce their work to the audience.

We welcome contributions from all disciplines and experience levels.

What to expect

• Inspiring keynotes on successful RSE practices
• Interactive barcamp sessions – bring your own topics
• Poster session & lightning talks
• Plenty of time for discussion
