Applications now open for a Summer School in Open Science + Research Software Engineering
Madicken Munk • May 20, 2024
Do you want your science, research, and software to be open and accessible? Do you use or develop software in your research? Do you have some basic skills and would like to build on and expand them? If this sounds like you, then you might be interested in the upcoming Summer School in Open Science and Research Software Engineering. In July 2024, we will be hosting a five-day workshop on open science and research software engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
Applications now open for the 2024 URSSI Summer School in Research Software Engineering
Kyle Niemeyer, Lorena Barba • February 29, 2024
Do you develop software for your research? Do you have some basic skills but desire more? If so, you might be interested in the upcoming URSSI Summer School in Research Software Engineering. Building off our pilot workshop in December 2019 and a recent winter school held in January 2024, we are hosting a three-day workshop on research software engineering skills over 24–26 June 2024 in Washington, DC, on the campus of George Washington University.
A pathway for participation in research open source
James Howison, Jennifer Schopf • February 20, 2024
In planning for the University of Texas at Austin Open Source Program Office (UT-OSPO), funded by the Sloan Foundation in 2023, we worked to think about the impacts that we hoped to have on campus (and beyond). In this effort, we were inspired by models of increasing engagement, sometimes broadly called “maturity models.” This approach helped bring together our OSPO team from across campus around the idea of a Participation Pathway.
Applications now open for the 2024 URSSI Winter School in Research Software Engineering
Kyle Niemeyer, Karthik Ram • October 31, 2023
Do you develop software for your research? Do you have some basic skills but desire more? If so, you might be interested in the upcoming URSSI Winter School in Research Software Engineering. Building off our pilot workshop held back in December 2019, we are hosting a 2.5-day workshop on research software engineering skills, to be held 3-5 January 2024 in Portland, Oregon. This is aimed at early-career researchers, including graduate students and postdocs, who are familiar with the basics such as the Unix shell, version control with Git, and Python programming, and would like to learn more about best practices for developing research software.
