Join us for the Seattle Research Software Engineer (RSE) Meetup, a FREE event sponsored by the University of Washington’s eScience Institute and hosted by the UW Libraries’ Open Scholarship Commons. This networking event is a great opportunity for Research Software Engineers, developers, and scientists to connect, network, and build a community. It brings opportunities for conversation around open source infrastructure and community adoption tactics to support software products in the service of open science. Whether you’re an experienced RSE or just starting out in the field, this meetup is designed to provide a friendly and inclusive environment where you can meet like-minded professionals, share your experiences, and expand your professional network. Our goal is to foster a supportive community of RSEs and create opportunities for collaboration and knowledge exchange. The event will feature lightning talks from UW’s Scientific Software Engineering Center (SSEC) projects (https://escience.washington.edu/software-engineering/ssec/ssec-project/), networking activities, icebreakers, and interactive discussions to help you get to know your fellow RSEs and build meaningful connections. You’ll have the opportunity to exchange ideas, learn from each other’s experiences, and explore potential collaborations in a relaxed and informal setting.
