Beschreibung 

CAESAR (Collaborative and Efficient Scientific Software Support Architecture) is an open, discipline-independent initiative designed to enhance how research software is supported, maintained, and developed. The project seeks to automate and streamline support workflows, mainly on GitHub, addressing challenges such as issue reproducibility, dependency management, and transparent collaboration between users and developers.

This half-day workshop will introduce CAESAR’s concept and objectives, showcase early demonstrations of the envisioned infrastructure, and invite your input. Through breakout sessions, lightning talks, and interactive polls, participants will help shape the system’s design and ensure it meets the real needs of the research software community.

Workshop highlights:

• Introduction to the CAESAR concept and objectives
• Demonstration of early prototypes using pyGIMLi and envisioned workflows
• Interactive breakout discussions and feedback
• Lightning talks on how scientific open-source software support is currently developed and maintained across projects
• Networking opportunity for researchers and developers across disciplines

Your participation and insights will play a key role in guiding CAESAR’s development toward a more efficient and sustainable research software support ecosystem.

If you are unable to attend but interested in the project, we would still appreciate it if you could fill out the form and stay in touch to follow the project’s progress.
