Workshops preceding RSEng24

Preceding The Research Software Engineers Day, a hands-on workshop will occur on 5 December. These workshops dive into the world of AI. You can choose to learn how to best use genAI for coding or how to use local LLMs to run your analysis in the HPC.

Tickets to the workshops can only be purchased in addition to a ticket for the RSE day.
