The big promise of software is to make the impossible possible and to make our lives easier, to automate the tedious and the error prone. Modern scientific research relies on these properties of software and on the talent, skill, and dedication of software developers. But all too often, research software and its developers are hidden behind the science they make possible.

The aim of the Belgium Research Software Engineers community is to foster a community of research software developers and to collectively improve the standard of software used for scientific research.

On 6 December you will have the opportunity to gather together with other research software engineers to share your vast collective experience. Join the community for an exciting day of talks and workshops to discuss the challenges you face and the bugs you chase!

Workshops
Preceding The Research Software Engineers Day, a hands-on workshop will take place on 5 December. These workshops dive into the world of AI. You can choose to dive into how to best use genAI for coding or how to use local LLMs to run your analysis in the HPC .
