Registration for Volunteers, Sponsor Staff and Conference Committee Members ONLY

On Tuesday 17th September, the RSE Community will reunite at the Fourth Conference of Research Software Engineering at the University of Birmingham, UK!

This year we have increased the conference to 420 delegates - a third larger than previous years - and expanded from two to three days, with the third day purely for workshops. We have, as ever, a varied talks and workshop programme split across multiple streams.

We are delighted to announce our keynote speakers Andy Stanford-Clark, Chief Technology Officer for IBM in UK and Ireland and Dr Ben Goldacre, best-selling author, broadcaster, campaigner, medical doctor and academic. Andy is an IBM Distinguished Engineer and Master Inventor with more than 40 patents. Ben specialises in unpicking the misuse of science and statistics by journalists, politicians, quacks, drug companies, and more.

Our sincere hope is that you find your community, learn a new skill, take part in discussions about the future of research software engineering, and get inspired by a talk – all in three days!

We will use Sched to run the conference programme, which will make it easy to choose and keep track of the talks and workshops you want to see. Shortly after you register, an account will be created for you on Sched which will allow you to personalise your programme.

Payments are taken by credit or debit card. We regret that it is not possible to request an invoice this year.

For group bookings via a central administrator, we recommend gathering together the answers to the registration questions for each member of your group, before your administrator starts the booking process. The registration questions can be found in the pdf document linked at the bottom of the page.
