DevCSI Supporting 5 places at Collaborations Workshop

Jan 26, 2011 by mahendra-mahey

The DevCSI project have partnered with the Collaborations Workshop and are providing free registration and help with expenses for a number of key developers to attend the Collaborations Workshop. The workshop is being held on  Thursday 3 and Friday 4 March 2011 at the e-Science Institute, Edinburgh.

What’s a ‘key developer? You tell us! We want to hear from developers who are keen to work with researchers from any discipline. This could be to provide extra development effort on interesting open-development projects, partnering with research groups or simply attracting users for the software you have developed.

To take part in this offer, email info@software.ac.uk and provide your name, contact details, organisation details and a paragraph or two describing the work you’ve completed and the reason why you can help with collaborative projects in the research domain. The closing date for this offer is 18 February 2011. Once we’ve received the applications we will get in touch with the developers who we think are best suited to work with researchers at the Collaborations Workshop.

Who should attend

* Researchers from all disciplines who use software, or want to use it in their research

* Software developers

* Project managers

* Funders

No more death by powerpoint!

What we discuss at the workshop depends on the interests of the workshop’s attendees. We use a flexible agenda: attendees suggest the topics for discussion before and during the workshop. At the workshop, we take a vote and only the most popular topics make the agenda.
