The EVERSE Network of Research Sofware Quality is a community community that will improve the quality of research software in Europe. 

The EVERSE project created a set of guidelines and resources into the RSQkit (Research Software Quality Kit) and the Technology Radar to share existing best practices and ideas.

This event seeks to bring together EVERSE members with  RSEs and researchers who code, to share updates on EVERSE activities, foster knowledge-sharing and cross-domain collaboration, gather feedback and identify priorities. 

Whether you are a researcher or RSE, whether you are involved in European Open Science clusters, or undertaking a similar role in academia, labs and industry, this is your chance to learn about these initiatives, and gives us your perspectives.
