Research Software Engineering in Health Research – Why you should care and how to get started

In health research, we are increasingly reliant on research software. Many of us are developing data analysis scripts, code, or even entire software packages. This webinar is for anyone who wants to receive an overview of good coding practices, writing code and ensuring good quality of their code.

We will discuss why research software engineering is relevant for your work and how to get started with simple, yet helpful practices. Drawing from real-life examples in health research projects, we will illustrate key concepts.
