On 14th October 2021 the international RSE community will celebrate the 1st International RSE Day. What is it? It is a celebration of RSEs and RSE work -- that means we want to celebrate you and your work!

In connection to the international RSE day, we are organising our own local event: the NL-RSE Road Show Event (NL-RSE RSE). The aim is for it to be an inspirational event where RSEs from all over the country get to talk to each other, exchange their experiences and struggles, and are able to make new connections.

We would love for this to be an in-person event. However, given the uncertainty of the COVID situation, we do not think it is wise to encourage people to travel to a central location. For this reason, as a compromise, we would like to organise this event as a collection of connected local events (Hub & spoke model), with small local events connected to each other for a shared programme. Our aim is to minimise the need for travel to the event, while maximising the networking opportunity for participants. This will also give us the flexibility to switch to a fully online event if necessary.
