Call for volunteers

9 – 11 September 2025, University of Warwick, Coventry, UK

Do you want to help make RSECon25 happen?

We are looking for volunteers to join our team and help us deliver the ninth annual conference for Research Software Engineering!

The conference is taking place online and in-person at the University of Warwick from the 9th to 11th September 2025.

What will I do?

We are recruiting in-person and remote volunteers who will participate in a wide range of tasks to help us deliver a successful conference. Primarily, you’ll act as a first point of contact should any delegates need assistance during the conference, making sure everyone feels welcome and valued.

To learn more about the role and related tasks, please see our Volunteer Role Description.

What skills, experience and attributes do I need? 

We ask that you are friendly and enthusiastic about creating a warm and welcoming environment for a successful conference. You should also be willing to work as part of a team.

If you have specific skills and experience which you think might be particularly useful, for example you have lots of experience using AV hardware, then we would love to hear about this when you apply.  We will do our best to align you with a volunteer role that suits you.

What benefits do I get from volunteering? 

• Complimentary conference ticket
• Opportunity to meet people in the RSE network
• Gain valuable organisation experience
• Opportunity to attend some sessions you are interested in
• An amazing t-shirt to represent the RSECon25 team! (this is optional due to sensory sensitivities)

I’m interested, what’s my next step?

To apply to join the volunteer team, please fill in this form. Applications will close at 23:59 BST on the 20th of June and successful applicants will be informed by 23:59 BST on the 4th of July. If you have any questions about RSECon25, please email us at [email protected].
