Research Software Camp: Next steps in coding

Our spring Research Software Camp: Next steps in coding focused on improving computational and training skills and exploring existing resources out there. The Camp was held from 16th to 27th May 2022. 

Through the two weeks of the Camp, we hosted a mix of live sessions, such as workshops aimed at various levels of expertise, ran a mentorship programme and a software surgery, and published resources on our website and social media.

Acknowledgements

From the organising committee to our many volunteers, we would like to thank everyone who made the Research Software Camp: Next Steps in Coding happen. Thank you also to everyone who has participated in the various activities!

Panel Discussion: Research software career paths and training needs

The panel discussion at the Research Software Camp: Next Steps in Coding explored the current challenges and gaps in training and skills around following specific career pathways in research software in academia and industry. Each panellist represented a different career.

Learning to Code mentorship programme

Volunteer research software engineers are mentoring beginner learners to improve their coding skills and provide hands-on help and support post-training to develop specific computational skills.

Software Surgery

Throughout the Camp we ran a free Software Surgery in allocated 20 minute-slots which aimed to provide a safe and welcoming space for people to get advice on their software challenges. It was open to anyone looking to get expert advice on any aspect of software development from a Research Software Engineer (RSE).

Workshops

We hosted a variety of free workshops to help you take the Next Steps in Coding throughout the Camp from 16 - 27 May.
