Important update: the call for volunteer has closed on 8th January EOD and all the volunteer positions have been filled.
Do you want to help make #deRSE25 happen? We are looking for volunteers to join our team and help us deliver deRSE2025 – the Conference for Research Software Engineering in Germany! The conference is taking place in-person in Karlsruhe between Tuesday the 25th and Thursday the 27th of February 2025.
What will I do?
Volunteers participate in a wide range of tasks which help us deliver a successful conference. Most importantly, you’ll act as a first point of contact should any participant need assistance during the conference, and will be making sure everyone feels welcome and valued. To learn more about the tasks and details of the role, check out our Volunteer Role Description!
What skills, experience and attributes do I need?
Along with having great communication and interpersonal skills, we ask that you are
- friendly and enthusiastic about creating a warm and welcoming environment for a successful conference and
- willing to work as part of a team.
If you have specific technical skills and experience such as setting up/using audio-visual equipment or anything else you think might be particularly useful then we would love to hear about this when you apply. We will do our best to align you with a volunteer role that suits you.
What benefits do I get from volunteering?
Outside of a great opportunity to meet people in the RSE network and gain valuable organization experience, you will
- get your conference fee waived,
- the opportunity to attend some of the sessions you are interested in,
- get amazing t-shirts to represent the deRSE25 team!
I’m interested, what’s my next step?
To apply to join the volunteer team, please use this registration form.
Applications are opened and will stay opened until all the positions are filled, or until January 8th 2025 - whatever happens first. We will start informing successful applicants on the 19th of December 2024. If you have any questions about deRSE25, please email us at deRSE25 (at) listserv.dfn.de.
