Online Event | October 28, 2020 – December 9, 2020
The EURISE Network has been formed by the three Social Sciences and Humanities ERICs CESSDA, CLARIN & DARIAH to create an umbrella where research infrastructures meet research software engineers.
This fall, they organise a series of online expert meetings on Wednesdays at 14 WET / 15 CET / 16 EET. The meetings will take place on the EURISE Discord – no registration required.
The one-hour meeting will be kicked-off by short lightning talks from infrastructure members. This is followed by a chance to discuss the points brought up in the introductions and to possibly go beyond.
