ZIH-Kolloquium: Research Software Engineering (RSE) - About software in science and the people behind

Software is an essential tool in science. You might use standard commercial or open source tools but also custom built software, so called research software. What is the difference between commercial and research software? Who makes research software and how is its development funded? How important is maintenance in regards to reproducibility of scientific results?
Stephan Janosch presents an overview about people, processes and results. Where possible he also looks on national (e.g. NFDI) and international level. His talk gives a broad overview about the current situation featuring references to current developments and answers to the questions above.

Stephan Janosch is a computer scientist by training. He joined the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) in 2009 in Software Engineering Facility. From 2011 on he supported the Genome Engineering Facility where we worked closely with researchers and technicians in the lab. He is a co-funder of the non profit German RSE association (de-RSE.org) and never stopped caring for scientific software. Since a few years is also active in research data management (RDM).
