The theme of this year’s conference is “Advancing Science in the Age of AI: Explore how RSEs and collaborators increase research impact during these rapidly changing times.”
USRSE’26 is looking for a variety of types of submissions directly engaged with this theme as well as topics connected to US-RSE in general, to foster an exciting event.
- Papers: this track requires original work, not published elsewhere, describing a contribution of interest and relevant to the RSE community.
- Talks: an abstract for a talk on any topics of interest to the conference, and may cover work published elsewhere.
- Notebooks — submissions demonstrating a computational workflow or analysis, using a common format, that is relevant to and reproducible by other community members.
- Birds of a Feather (BoF) — sessions providing conference attendees with the opportunity to discuss a topic of shared interest, ideally likely to appeal to a quarter to a half of conference attendees.
- Workshops — sessions that teach the participants a new skill and include exercises or other active learning components. Both technical and professional skills workshops are welcome.
- Posters — a chance to discuss your work (both established or new) with the community during a dynamic reception. Both typical academic posters and less traditional poster formats are encouraged.
- Rapid Access Microtalk (RAM) — an opportunity organized in-person at the conference to present a 5-minute rapid-fire talk on any topic of their choice. This session offers conference participants a platform that encourages spontaneity and creativity at the time of the event itself.
