🎉 On March 27, something pretty special happened in Cambridge!

After months of prep, the @whpc Cambridge & East Anglia chapter teamed up with the RSE East of England group to host an incredible day of sharing, connecting, and showing off the amazing work of our community. About 25 brilliant folks – from Researchers and RSEs to HPC specialists – came together to do just that.

The theme? “Show up and show off!”

@whpc @ResearchSoftEng #WHPC #RSE #HighPerformanceComputing

📣 Thank you to everyone who has already submitted their proposals to RSECon25.

The Programme Team are looking forward to reviewing them and putting together the best conference yet.

To give you all a little more time and take some pressure off the Easter break we will be extending the submissions deadline to the 2nd May (at 23:59 🕛 ).

RSECon25Call for Submissions - RSECon25Call for submissions RSECon25 will be accepting a wide variety of formats to contribute to our programme. This year we want to work our two themes into as many of the talks, interactive sessions and posters as possible. Abstracts will be reviewed with this in mind so make sure you include how the topic relates. The deadline for submissions is 23:59 BST on 25 April 2025. This year we encourage niche technical submissions though to general topics; we can cater talks to audiences from 5 to 500, and interactive content up to 100. We welcome small intensive workshops or deep dive talks, to broad general interest talks and community Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions. If you have something interesting to say, come and say it. Our themes we would like you to consider are: For more information please see our Vision Statement. Ways to contribute If you have been to RSECon before you will be familiar with our formats but do read the following refresher of the formats for 2025 and see the links for a deeper dive into the format particulars and how to submit. Detailed information about writing a submission and submissions links can be found here: Presenter led: Call for talks and walkthroughs Interactive Sessions: Call for workshops, hackathons and BoF Posters: Call for posters Talks and walkthroughs Come and share your knowledge and experience with our community and be ready to answer questions from in the room and online. On the theme of RSE and Research Excellence: These sessions are intended to provide a platform for RSEs to showcase their contribution to research excellence. We want to hear from all levels and career stages. You don’t need to be the national leader in a topic but show how your application of the tool demonstrates the best of RSE when applied to a topic to enable research excellence. On the theme of RSE contribution to DRI: UKRI include ‘people: the users, and the experts who develop and maintain these powerful resources’ in their building blocks of their DRI. The users and more importantly experts include RSEs, we are in many ways responsible for the development of scientific software. We encourage any and all talks that spotlight the various ways that RSE contribute to the DRI landscape.  Take a look at some questions we can ask ourselves to frame our work in these themes and give you a starting point for developing your submission. Interactive sessions, workshops, hackathons and Birds of a Feather Interactive sessions are a key part of RSECon. People should expect to develop skills, pick up new skills, and collaborate with members of their communities. Workshops should reflect this year’s themes, upskilling RSEs with new technical skills to contribute to their ongoing development or better contribute to DRI; a community theme that reflects how your community contributes to Research Excellence or Digital Research Infrastructure and thinking about how and where you can influence the DRI landscape; or a hackathon aimed at working collaboratively on something that enables research excellence or is DRI. Skills workshops: Community Workshops: Posters RSECon25 will have posters and a poster reception. A poster submission is unique as it allows the audience to digest the information at their own pace. You can present detailed technical information or striking graphics and let our attendees get to know your work. At the reception you will have the opportunity to talk to people about your poster and answer questions in an informal setting. As in previous years there will be a poster competition but this year we are updating the categories, see the specific poster page for more information. Other formats If you have a suggestion for another format that isn’t listed here then please get in touch using the following form well in advance of the submission deadline. We will ask you to justify why you want to use another format and what you think it will bring to the conference. If we agree and it can be worked into the program logistically then we will add it to the abstracts to review. We will particularly welcome non-standard formats if you can show how they will help highlight our themes. Click here for the non-standard submission request form. Finally We have given many examples of how we interpret our themes but we are open to being surprised by your takes on these topics. If you want to talk your submissions over or ask any questions please reach out on Slack (to Pip Grylls) or by Email and we will be happy to offer any guidance we can. As always your submissions will be reviewed by the community, you may be asked to modify your submission type depending on reviewer feedback or length depending on the number of submissions we get. We are not filling X% of sessions as talks or Y% must be on this theme, so simply submit your best contributions. We will look for the highest quality and select an engaging mix to make this the best conference yet.

Call for reviewers is now open, find out more and sign up at rsecon25.society-rse.org/call-

RSECon25Call For Reviewers - RSECon25Call for reviewers Reviewers play a crucial role in building the conference programme. Becoming a reviewer is a great way to: The assessments provided by reviewers are invaluable to the conference programme team. Each year we receive a large number of submissions and we want to give all of them the attention they deserve. We continue to strive for a large team of reviewers that represents the rich diversity of skills, experience levels and career stages in the research software community. This will allow us to build a conference programme that reflects the real interests of our community. Whatever your previous experience in performing peer review, please consider signing up as a reviewer for RSECon25, and contributing a few hours to help. As a reviewer, you will receive a combination of submissions for talks, panels, workshops, walkthroughs and/or posters. Reviews can be completed in your own time, through a simple online platform. Each submission will contain an abstract and several additional fields related to their submission type, and we will give you guidance to help you reach a decision.  We expect each abstract you are assigned to take between 5-15 minutes to review. This is a double blind process; you will not see author details and authors will not see your identity. We are aware that circumstances (e.g. prominent software/projects) may limit author anonymity, therefore if you feel unable to complete an impartial review, we can reallocate the submission. A minimum of two reviewers will be assigned per submission. The combination of your decision with that of your co-reviewer/s will inform the programme committee’s selection of submissions that are accepted for the conference. We fully expect to see divergence between reviewers; opinions from all members of the community are valid and welcome. This year, we want to make this process as transparent as possible and encourage more of you to get involved! On April 16th  we are hosting a webinar to outline the submission and review processes. During the webinar, we will show you the platform we are using to handle submissions (Oxford Abstracts), and you will have the opportunity to ask questions. If you would like to come to the webinar, register your details to receive the Zoom joining instructions. A recording of the webinar will be made available after the event. Attendance is optional. Responsibilities: In summary, for the review process, we (conference committee) have the following responsibilities to you (reviewer): As a reviewer: The call will close at 23:59 BST on Tuesday May 6th. As always, if you have any questions about signing up to review, please reach out to us at rsecon25-programme-team@society-rse.org.  Thank you for considering becoming a reviewer!
