Open Source Science @ PyData Prague #20

Join us at the forefront of innovation at the Open-Source Science @ PyData Prague Meetup, where open source meets science.

Highlights:

• Engaging talks on open source, AI, and scientific research from various domains.
• Interactive panel discussions.
• Networking opportunities with a community of academics, developers, and industry professionals.

Agenda:

• Tim Bonnemann: Accelerating Science with Open Source – An Introduction to Open-Source Science (OSSci)
• Evelina Gabašová: Open source and academia: Research software engineering perspective
• Derek Homeier: Astropy – a community effort to develop a common core package for Astronomy in Python
• Martin Fleischmann: Open by Default: Developing reproducible, computational research

Detail abstracts are available at https://pydata.cz/.

Open-Source Science (OSSci) is a NumFOCUS initiative – launched in July 2022 in partnership with IBM – aimed at accelerating scientific research by improving the ways open-source scientific software gets done (built, used, funded, sustained, recognized, etc.). OSSci connects scientists, OSS developers, and other stakeholders to share best practices, identify common pain points, and explore solutions together.

The five OSSci interest groups to date cover domain-specific topics (chemistry and material science, life sciences and healthcare, climate and sustainability) as well as cross-domain topics (reproducibility, map of science), with more to be added in the future.

We invite participants from all backgrounds and experience levels to foster the open source science community and to share their insights and innovations. Whether you're an academic researcher, an open-source enthusiast, or somewhere in between, we welcome your presence at this event.
