Description

In December 2024, roughly 35 members of the German RSE community will follow an invitation by the VolkswagenStiftung to Hannover for a symposium on "Code for Science or: Better Research Software through better research software competencies". The symposium is co-located with three other symposia as part of a larger event on "Digital Competenencies in the Academic System". Our idea is to bring together a large variety of stakeholders in research software competencies: the German RSE community, libraries, computing centers, research data management facilities, HPC facilities, Open Science offices and training institutions. In a series of open discussion formats, this diverse group will then identify common problems in research software competencies, develop ideas to target these problems and make plans on how these ideas can be implemented. After the end of the symposium, our findings will be published in a report. We present those findings in our talk and hope for community approval and lively discussions.
