Nordic-RSE in person conference 2024 #NordicRSEconf

May 30-31, Aalto University, Espoo, Finland

Abstract call and registrations are now open!

Submit your contribution by March 22nd 2024

Submit a contribution

Register to Nordic RSE 2024 Conference

What is it?

Do you enjoy talking software? Learning tricks about your favorite programming languages? Solving interesting coding problems? Sharing your experiences with other likeminded people? Welcome to the first ever Nordic RSE in person conference! We believe you might really like it here.

We are an association of professionals developing and using software for the needs of research. As such we aim to create a community of researchers, engineers, developers, digital experts and more, to talk about topics that are often overlooked in classical academic conferences. The focus of our conference is not on results of research, but rather on the tools that underlie those results. Additionally, we hope to foster a rich network of exchanges and conversations surrounding the practices of software development in research.

Most research is already built on a foundation of sofware tools and the quality and reliability of those tools is key to producing reliable results. And the importance of software keeps growing. In this conference we want to talk about what pipelines you develop and use for your research, and how you use it, the software you develop, and how you got about developing it.

Where

On the campus of Aalto University in Otaniemi, Espoo, Finland.

How you can help

• Submit a contribution! In line with our previous online unconferences, our meetings are driven by our participants! What do you want to talk about?
• Encourage your colleagues to submit a contribution and/or join our association. Since the term RSE is still fairly new, they might not know about it yet and be hesitant to submit something.
• Share the announcement with others.
• Do you want to volunteer and help us run our first in person conference? Join us or get in touch with us!

Call for Contributions

We invite you to submit contributions by March 22nd, on any topics related to research software. Whether you are using it or developing it yourself, we are interested in your experience and expertise. Topics are divided roughly into 3 sessions, “Best Practices”, “Technical” and “Soft Skills”. But don’t let this limit you, many topics are welcome. Just submit your idea and we can discuss and find a spot for it!

All formats of communication are welcome (or check what we have done in the unconference):

• Discussion topics (15-20 minutes): is software, research software community or research software engineering something close to your heart? Come chat with other enthusiasts!
• Demonstrations: show us some tools or software that you like
• Workshops or ReproHacks (max 3 hours in a day)
• Talks (20 minutes including 5 min questions): teach us something new
• On-going projects: share something unfinished or almost working that you would like to get feedback on
• Something else: is there something you would like to share that does not fit any of the previous points? We are looking forward to hearing about it!

Wikivoyage Helsinki is usually pretty accurate and has information about the area and other sights to see.

Hotels

There are various hotels within easy walking distance. We don’t have any particular discounts. “Radison Blu Otaniemi” is the default location for university visitors. Other hotels in Helsinki downtown are fine also, the metro trip is 11 minutes (and costs ~3 euros).

Transportation

Aalto University is at the “Aalto University” metro stop.

Air: Helsinki Airport is the default choice. Between the airport and Aalto University, plan for max 1.5 hours (less than one hour is possible if you are efficient). From the airport, follow signs to the train station. Buy a ticket for zones ABC, this will get you all the way to the university (see public transport). Take the first train that comes (either way gets to downtown in about the same time). Walk a bit to the main station and down to the metro station. Take a metro to the stop Aalto University (direction Tapiola or Kivenlahti), then continue in section “public transport”

Ferry: From Tallinn or Stockholm, there are ferries. Expect well under an hour to get from the ferry harbors to Aalto University. (Some attendees are also attending the Nordic e-infrastructure Conference in Tallinn on 27-29 May, they will be taking ferries from Tallinn the evening of 29 May. More info to be announced)

Bus, Train, etc. within Finland: You probably know how to get to the center of Helsinki. Follow public transit below.

Private vehicle: There isn’t free parking, but there are paid lots around.

Public transport: The public transport system is good and easy to use. The stop name is “Aalto University”, and the A entrance may be slightly easier to use. Tickets can be bought at ticket machines, or via the “HSL App”. Aalto University is in the zone B, downtown is in the zone A, tickets last a bit more than an hour and work on any public bus, train, metro, or tram (and as many transfers as you need). AB zone tickets cost 2.95€.

If coming from airport: use single tickets, day tickets not worth it even with one extra trip to/from downtown.

The Human Rights Foundation (HRF) invites you to join us in Oslo, Norway, for the 16th annual Oslo Freedom Forum (OFF) from June 3 to 5, 2024, at the Oslo Konserthus.

Human rights advocates from around the globe will take the OFF stage to share their efforts to defy repression, speak out against injustice, and promote liberal democracy. This year’s theme, Reclaim Democracy, emphasizes the pivotal role every individual — speaker and participant alike — plays within the global movement for freedom and democracy.

Over the last 18 years, HRF has witnessed a global democratic decline and a rise in authoritarianism. Dictatorships in Russia and Iran grew in strength, while India and Georgia slid into authoritarianism. Today, 5.7 billion people — 72% of the world — live under the tyranny of a hybrid authoritarian regime or a full-fledged dictatorship. HRF’s research overwhelmingly shows that authoritarianism is the largest obstacle not just to political freedom but to the realization of every other basic individual right and societal aspiration.

Amid this global trend, OFF offers an important platform to Reclaim Democracy, bringing together the world’s top human rights defenders and industry leaders to exchange valuable tools, knowledge, and resources in the struggle for basic rights and individual liberties. It does so through inspiring theater talks, thought-provoking panel discussions, hands-on workshops, networking opportunities, and a creative expo space.

You, too, can take part in these discussions, learn about the struggle for freedom directly from dissidents on the frontlines, and join a global movement committed to upholding and advancing human rights. Register today for the 2024 Oslo Freedom Forum.

Every year, the Oslo Freedom Forum (OFF) features talks from inspiring activists, philanthropists, journalists, artists, entrepreneurs, and world leaders, all of whom come together for an immersive experience focused on making the world more peaceful, prosperous, and free. At OFF, you have the opportunity to connect with our community and contribute to the global movement against tyranny.

Over the course of three days, hear from human rights advocates on the Oslo Konserthus stage as they share their efforts to defy repression and speak out against injustice around the globe. At Rebel, through informative panel discussions, interactive workshops, and a creative expo, you can explore the issues raised onstage and brainstorm ways to preserve democracy and freedoms worldwide.

This year’s OFF theme, Reclaim Democracy, emphasizes the pivotal role every individual plays within the global movement for democracy. We invite you to join our community of activists, philanthropists, technologists, and industry leaders at OFF in the struggle for freedom.

Confirmed speakers at the 2024 OFF include:

• Meredith Whittaker, CEO of Signal, the world’s leading encrypted communications app
• Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, researcher, founder of the Trauma Research Foundation, and New York Times best-selling author of “The Body Keeps the Score”

This is an event designed to highlight the next generation of startups in Tampere and connect founders with investors & industry experts.

Back and bolder than before, the Startup Tampere Showcase 2024 is gearing up to be the unmissable pitstop for every tech aficionado, founder, investor, and disruptor in the game.
In the backdrop of the pulsating Tampere region, last year’s standout event celebrated startups galore in areas like Smart City Development, ICT, and Deep Tech. This year? Expect the stakes, and the pitches, to be even higher.

Picture this: 100 startups, from seasoned scale-ups to the freshest bootstraps, converging in a hustle of innovation, and 25 of them getting the spotlight moment on stage they’ve dreamt of. Between high-octane pitches, there’s a treasure trove of happenings – speed-dating sessions that might birth your next big collab, panel discussions that challenge the status quo, and ad hoc meetings where serendipity meets strategy. And because it’s not all business, wind down at the Afterwork, where clinks of drinks meet rooftop views, melodies, and memories.

For those who’ve got their finger on the pulse of Europe’s startup scene, thinking of Tampere might just be synonymous with raw innovation, and this event? It’s where the magic gets tangible. Whether you’re a startup out to shake things up, an investor ready to bet on the next big thing, or simply a tech enthusiast hungry for what’s next, Tampere 2024 is your playground. Buckle up and mark the date; this is where the Nordics shine!

Lighting the Nordics with Resilient Innovation!

In a world that shifts by the minute, Tampere’s startup mindset shines bright, adapting with dynamism and a kind of resilience deeply etched into its DNA. In this city, we don’t just innovate; we’re driven by dreams, fueled by decisions, and powered into action. As Tampere transitions from traditional manufacturing to smart tech, we’re casting the net wider than ever, encompassing everything from cell phone tech to niche signal processing.

At Startup Tampere Showcase 2024, expect a unique fusion where past successes pave the way for future breakthroughs. Here, startups aren’t just presented; they’re celebrated. With the city’s vast infrastructure, support, and community behind every idea, startups find not just a platform but a catalyst for growth. We’re not just about providing testbeds for rapid prototyping; we’re about marrying the brightest minds with the most audacious ideas. With 30,000 higher education students in Tampere, vitality and innovation are in the air. And it’s not just about the numbers; it’s about the connections. In Tampere, you’re two phone calls away from anyone – a compact strength we wield with pride.
Whether you’re a tech titan, a visionary startup, a corporate leader scouting for fresh innovations, or an international investor aiming to tap into the Finnish magic, Tampere’s got your back. Join us for an unparalleled blend of tech showcases, expert panels, networking sessions, and the renowned Afterwork.
