 # Workshop on AI-supported Research Software Engineering
 
-**Date:** September 26, 2025
-**Location:** TBD
+🤖 Join us at the Workshop on AI-supported Research Software Engineering! One location, two events - just before the Collaboration Workshop!
 
-Welcome to the workshop on AI-supported Research Software Engineering (RSE). This workshop brings together researchers and software engineers to explore how artificial intelligence tools can support and enhance research software development practices.
+Tuesday, 22 September 2026 - Wednesday, 23 September 2026, in Goettingen, Germany / Website: https://events.hifis.net/event/3249/page/968-workshop-on-ai-supported-research-software-engineering
 
-## About the Workshop
+This interactive workshop addresses the many challenges and opportunities faced by research software engineers in AI-supported research software development. 
+* You have not used AI tools in research software development yet, and would like to learn about possibilities and limitations?
+* You are using AI tools quite extensively in your research software development, and would like to exchange knowledge and experience, as well as work towards best practices in AI-supported research software development?
 
-AI tools are rapidly changing how we write, document, test, and maintain research software. This workshop provides hands-on experience with state-of-the-art AI coding assistants, discusses best practices for integrating AI into RSE workflows, and fosters community exchange among participants.
+Then this workshop is a great match for you! We will offer highlight talks and hands-on sessions/discussions. Stay tuned for upcoming details on the program and registration.
+
+Your orga team - Stephan Janosch, Inga Ulusoy, Mustafa Dogan, Bernadette Fritzsch, Bela Gipp, Lukas Netz, Sebastian Nielebock
+
+PS. Interested in participating in the organization and contributing to the program? Would you like to get involved in teaching hands-on sessions or present at the workshop? Please get in touch at ai-in-rse-workshop26@listserv.dfn.de by 28/02/2026.

+| 1 | Legal and ethical aspects | Urheberrecht, sensitive data/code, open-source licensed code potentially in proprietary software, responsibility for the code | talks | joined | | 
+| 2 | comparing coding interfaces | compare claude code, GitHub copilot, Cursor, Antigravity, ... pros and cons, which one for what type of task, user personas | hands-on | separate, advanced | | 
+| 3 | Effective use of MCPs | what is an mcp, how to connect to an mcp server, how to use the mcp server effectively, what mcp servers are available, how to set up an mcp server | hands-on | separate, advanced | | 
+| 4 | Effective use of coding agents and LLMs in research software development | chat, vibe coding, user personas, what to do and what not to do, caveats | hands-on | separate, beginner | |
+| 5 | How does the use of AI tools change the RSE role | code reviewer, pair programming with a chatty and always agreeing colleague, security checks, reliability and trust | all possible | joined or separate, talk or discussion, connected to 7 | | 
+| 6 | Opportunities and challenges through AI-assisted research software development | more researchers write code, reproducibility and maintainability of the code, need some sort of practice guidelines for the novice to not get lost when using these tools | talk | joined, somewhat connected to 5 | | 
+| 7 | AI-assisted coding in a team | how does this affect the team dynamics and deliverables, intentionality of produced code, problem-solving ability of the team  | discussion topic |
+| 8 | How scientists are adopting AI coding tools? | how scientist perceive their productivity while using AI tools; research software quality as AI-generated code  | Talk | joined | | 
+| 9 | Quality assurance in the age of AI - Testing | using AI to generate unit tests for edge cases; generating test suite | Hands-on | separate, beginner | | 
+| 10 | Quality assurance in the age of AI - Documenting | generating documentation (e.g. docstrings, README) automatically from code for different types of users (e.g. non-tech users, developers) | Hands-on | separate, beginner | |
