Hello,

I'm running a workshop in March that brings software developers
together with researchers from all disciplines. The idea is to help
solve research problems using software. It's a really flexible event
where the delegates choose the problems they want to work on (and it's
fun too). We're funded by the EPSRC, so it's not for profit.

Any help publicising the event to researchers would be much
appreciated (details below and here: http://www.software.ac.uk/cw12).

Regards,

Simon.

----Announcement----

The Collaborations Workshop gets researchers and software developers
working together to solve research problems. If you’re a researcher
who wants to make more of software, or a developer who wants to work
with researchers, the workshop is the perfect opportunity to meet new
collaborators.

The Collaborations Workshop will be held on 21-22 March at Queen’s
College, Oxford.

Registration is now open (http://bit.ly/CW12Reg).

For more information, visit the Collaborations Workshop website
(www.software.ac.uk/cw12).

Meet with researchers and software developers

A fresh perspective can help solve problems or come up with new ideas.
The workshop brings together researchers from a wide range of
disciplines, and software developers with experience of working for
the research community. It is this variety of backgrounds that makes
the workshop productive.

To see who’s attending, visit the website (http://bit.ly/CW12Attendees).

You control the agenda

The workshop is split into a series of discussion sessions. As a
delegate, you can nominate topics for discussion: anything from a
problem specific to your research, to an issue that affects the entire
research community. We will then discuss the topic and try to find
solutions.

To see the discussion topics that have been suggested so far, visit
the website (http://bit.ly/CW12Topics).

Everything is flexible

Everything about the workshop is flexible. Delegates control what
they talk about. If someone wants time to present results, time will
be found. If more time is needed for a discussion, it will be added.

To see the agenda, visit the website (http://bit.ly/CW12Agenda).

Everything is open

Information on the planning of the workshop, the agenda items, the
presentations, the reporting-back sessions, and post-workshop progress
will all be available on the CW12 website.
