A community meetup will take place between Tuesday 16 and Wednesday 17 January 2024 to bring together those whose research attention is directed towards RSE Research and prepare the ground for an international in-person symposium on RSE Research.

According to Toward Research Software Engineering Research “RSE Research aims to improve the scholarly understanding of research software development, and to develop methods, techniques and tools to improve RSE practice. Therefore, RSE research has to tackle a number of research questions, which do not only address the software as a product, but also software development assistance for the domain researcher”.

Those interested in contributing to the community meetup with a short talk should send a title and a short abstract to IRSER-community@googlegroups.com by 30 November 2023.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Research software artefacts;
• Research software engineering methods;
• The research and professional environment in which research software engineers act;
• Empirical research on RSE (e.g. experiments, case studies and action research, see Empirical Standards for Software Engineering Research).
