about this room
The Netherlands' research software engineers mark international RSE Day with an afternoon of talks on the craft of writing code for science, from career paths to making Python fast.
Menno Rasch, director of the Netherlands eScience Center, opens at 13:00. Jannetta Steyn (Newcastle University) gives the keynote on her RSE journey; Maurits Kok and Pamela Wochner (TU Delft) and Joost Schotsman (UMC Utrecht) report from the RSE professionalisation working groups; Elisa Chiarotto (Leiden University) presents SuperCode, on small language models for optimising radio-astronomy code; Christiaan Boerkamp (VLV Technology) closes with a live walkthrough on accelerating Python on any hardware. Drinks from 16:00.
Free. Walk-in from 12:30 with coffee and cake. It is in the Matrix 1 building at Science Park, not the eScience Center's own Matrix 3.
the one afternoon a year when the people who keep Dutch science's code running compare notes in person. Best for research engineers, scientific programmers and anyone hiring them.
