FutuRSI aims to create a future for RSE in Germany that serves the community. We need you to achieve this!

deRSE26 provides an excellent opportunity for the FutuRSI project to present the current state of its work while, more importantly, deepening the dialogue with the community. After months of conceptual development, our focus is on discussing practical needs, expectations, and perspectives from the research software landscape.

The International Research Software Engineer (RSE) Survey is live! If you develop research software in Germany, this is your chance to shape what comes next.

This year’s survey includes specific questions about a potential national research software institution in Germany—what it should prioritise, how it might be structured, and how it could best support the RS ecosystem. Those responses will feed directly into FutuRSI’s work as we develop concrete concepts.
