scientific research

We are inviting applications from graduate students and researchers in the area of Cybersecurity and related fields. During our annual scientific event, students will have the opportunity to follow one week of scientific talks and workshops, present their own work during poster sessions and discuss relevant topics with fellow researchers and expert speakers. The program will be complemented by social activities. 

Application Process: Please fill in the application form and upload your CV, a Motivation Letter, University Certificate of Transcript of Records. 

Notification of Acceptance: Several rounds of acceptance, roughly 3 weeks after application at the latest. Fee: 200,-€  (includes full program, food and beverages during the week, weekly local bus ticket, and social activities)

The Hub of Computing and Data Science will hold an RSE day in the Science City Bahrenfeld. The event is tailored to scientists and software developers working in Research Software Engineering and people interested in the field. It aims to strengthen our community in Hamburg, share experiences, and showcase our work. As the requirements for sustainable research software increase, we see the potential to build a community of practice that meets regularly and tries to leverage synergies in the metropolitan area.

Research Software Engineers (RSEs) specialize in developing and maintaining software that supports scientific research. They combine software engineering expertise with a deep understanding of research methods and domain knowledge in specific scientific fields.

That means RSEs are crucial in bridging the gap between advanced computing and scientific inquiry, ensuring that software solutions are robust, efficient, and tailored to researchers' needs.

If you feel you belong to this community, you are invited to submit an abstract for a poster showing your work and complementary lightning talks.

This event will provide a platform for lively discussions with lightning talks and community engagement during the poster sessions. Two keynote presentations will round out the program by providing insights into successfully implemented RSE. Hopefully, it will generate new ideas and help find collaboration options.
