It was a pleasure having participated in the 1st onsite meeting of the ETHZ RSE Community. A short wrapup of the event with photos. On the 1st of February, around 60 participants met for talks and discussions in Zurich. For me the most interesting part was brainstorming the future of the RSE movement in CH. RSE.ethz will soon output a document outlining next steps. Lightning Talks We had 8 lightning talks on very diverse subjects from different parts of ETHZ and WSL.

Welcome This is the first post of CH-RSE. What is an RSE? Quoting UK-RSE: Regardless of your formal job title, if you answer yes to many of the following questions, you are doing the work of a Research Software Engineer: Are you employed to develop software for research? Are you spending more time developing software than conducting research? Are you employed as a postdoctoral researcher, even though you predominantly work on software development?
