We organise frequent NL-RSE meetups to encourage collaboration and communication between Research Software Engineers in the Netherlands. These meetups are sponsored by Netherlands eScience Center, HealthRI and SURF.

Topics of the lectures and hands-on workshops range from new developments in programming languages and frameworks to practical tips for research software engineers, and more. Speakers are usually but not exclusively members of the NL-RSE community (i.e. Dutch Research Software Engineers). The agenda of the meeting leaves plenty of time for participants to interact with each other.
