Research Software Week 2026: June 1st–5th#
About#
The Research Software Week is an event for everybody interested in research software (engineering). In connection to the first Research Software Day Berlin & Brandenburg on 3 June 2026, we started the initiative to encourage broader learning, exchange and networking around research software. The idea is to gather events around research software in one place and promote them to a larger audience. Let’s see where we can go together!
