Conference Theme for 2024
Prof Neil Chue Hong proposed 9 Research Software Development Principles during his keynote at RSECon23. The principles have been adopted as the theme for this year, and by exploring them we hope to better understand ourselves, our significance within the research environment, and our broader impact on society and the planet.
We are encouraging presenters to incorporate a brief reflection on the relevance of these principles to their work. We hope these moments of reflection on a unified set of principles will bring cohesion across the programme, and allow us to group together content that is driven by similar underlying themes.
