I’ve been on the committees for RSECon25 & #RSECon26 … and plan to join again for #RSECon27. Every year it’s been an amazing group of people who are friendly and supportive. Please join us!

🔧 ICCS Principal RSE Jack Atkinson shares his experiences and highlights from #RSECon26 (organised by @society-rse.org): jackatkinson.net/post/rsecon26/

Read about Jack's involvement with conference organisation, key takeaways, and why the diverse RSE community makes this event so good.

I wrote a little bit about the #RSECon26 lightning talks session for the ISNBS blog:

Almost recovered from an amazing week in Sheffield, attending the inaugural International Research Software Conference, celebrating 10 years of the RSE Conference, representing @society-rse.org and
@softwaresaved.bsky.social, and talking about Mental Health & The ConveRSE Project. #IRSC26 #RSECon26

🏆We’ve won a poster prize!🎉

We’re delighted that the SHAREing poster was recognised with a poster prize at #RSECon26!

A huge thank you to the RSE team, who are developing the methodology behind the work. And, of course, thank you to everyone involved in SHAREing, this is very much a team effort!

CAKE had a great time at RSECon26 in Sheffield — sharing what we do, meeting the RSE community, exchanging ideas, and, of course, having some CAKE along the way. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, chatted with us. Have a safe trip, see you at RSECon27! #RSECon26 #CAKE #UKDRI

Well that's it for #RSECon26 on the train home with several green t-shirts. Feeling inspired to try a few things, and also a bit sorry for @alexlubbock.com who will likely pay the price for my ambitions. Looking forward to #RSECon27!

🎉 We're beyond proud and delighted that ICCS was the joint winner of the Community Award (Training & Education) at #RSECon26!

Jack Atkinson and Marion Weinzierl were on hand to collect the award on our behalf. Thank you to everyone who's been involved with our work. ❤️

That is a wrap on #RSECon26!

Thank you to every speaker, attendee, sponsor and volunteer who made our time in Sheffield unforgettable.

Next stop: Edinburgh for #RSECon27! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Safe travels home!

Looking forward to this Geoscience SIG session at #RSECon26 with a number of contributions from #CEMAC at University of Leeds!

Also as a #LEGO enthusiast, I thoroughly appreciated the new "Batton" which is being passed from the #RSECon26 chair to the #RSECon27 (Which will be in #Edinburgh)

Very proud to see @rosfrankinst.bsky.social as a Bronze sponsor for #RSECon26 especially contributing to the Participation Fund to allow as many people as possible to make it to this excellent conference and help us to build collaborations.

And.....

The #RSECon27 will be in Edinburgh!

#RSEcon27 will be in Edinburgh! 6-9 September 2027 #RSEcon26

Starting day 3 of #RSECon26, interesting keynote by April Johnson focusing on many of the "Soft Skills" which are super important in RSE. Nice to highlight the benefits and purposes of the keypoints #Welcoming #Listening #Connecting #Moving when dealing with communities.

Day 3 of #RSECon26 is underway!

We kicked off our final day with a keynote from April Johnson on the human work behind open scientific computing. 
Parallel sessions are running throughout the day until our closing remarks this afternoon.

What has been your conference highlight so far?

Lovely talk by @mdsimpson.co.uk at #RSECon26 about his work around mental health and his @softwaresaved.bsky.social fellowship. He had some great tips which might help some. I particularly liked "Eat the frog"!

Had a lot of fun being on the panel of the @biofair.bsky.social workshop "Does reuse still beat rebuilding in the AI era?" At #RSECon26. Lots of great conversations and questions from the audience.

Half way through #RSECon26, just been deploying websites with podman and Kubernetes
