The emergence of a professional cadre of research software engineers and associated professional societies has taken place across the world in the last decade, all promoting the practice of research software engineering (RSE) with national conferences and initiatives.
“RSE Research aims to improve the scholarly understanding of research software development, and to develop methods, techniques and tools to improve RSE practice. Therefore, RSE research has to tackle a number of research questions, which do not only address the software as a product, but also software development assistance for the domain researcher” (Toward Research Software Engineering Research)
The aim of this community meetup is to bring together those whose research attention is directed towards RSE Research (as defined above and in contrast to RSE Education or RSE Training). Its goal is to prepare the ground for an international in-person symposium on RSE Research.
