RSECon26 photo albumAs the flagship event of the Society of Research Software Engineering and the research software community, RSECon26 provides a forum to share ideas, debate strategies, and develop collective visions for the future of Research Software Engineering.
Together, we can shape an environment where software is recognised as a fundamental research product — and where those who build it are acknowledged as being at the centre of research and discovery. This year, RSECon26 centres around two key themes.
RSEs play a vital role in advancing research, from project design through to dissemination. For the profession to thrive, it must be recognised as a research career path in its own right.
Recognition of RSE work depends on how effectively we can evidence research contributions made through software, and how to ensure credit systems evolve to recognise these contributions.
The Venue
RSECon26 took place at The Wave, a modern venue on the University of Sheffield's campus located just outside the city centre. Sheffield's excellent transport links make it easy to reach from across the UK.
Supporting the RSE Community
RSECon26 is made possible by the generous support of our sponsors.
