ReBaz + Carpentries + RSE Conference

Mike's Notes

Plenty of opportunities to share research and upskill out there, and I need to learn Python. Pipi 10 will have a Python interface.

ReBaz + Carpentries + RSE Conference

By: Mike Peters

On a Sandy Beach: 24/10/2025

Mike is the inventor and architect of Pipi and the founder of Ajabbi.

Research Bazaar

"The annual ResBaz (Research Bazaar) event – an amazing free series of online webinars and workshops that bring together researchers from around the country to develop skills in digital tools and research practices."

The next ResBaz Aotearoa 2026: 29 June - 3 July.

The Carpentries

" ..The Carpentries is a non-profit organisation that teaches foundational coding and data science skills to researchers worldwide. There are numerous courses freely available, including an introduction to Python for library and information workers."

HPC Carpentries

"HPC Carpentry teaches HPC-oriented coding, and data science skills to researchers. We want to work towards bringing High Performance Computing under the Carpentries umbrella."

New Zealand Research Software Engineering Conference

"Within the research sector, there is a growing number of people who combine expertise in programming with an intricate understanding of research. Although this combination of skills is extremely valuable, these people lack a formal place in the academic system. This means there is no easy way to recognise their contribution, to reward them, or to represent their views.  

A community-driven event 

In June 2020, NeSI decided to rebrand its successful Science Coding Conference to be named the NZ Research Software Engineers (RSE) Conference. Motivation for the change is two-fold:

• to include people from all research communities who work on the cusp of technical and research domains, and
•  to more fully align with the goals of the Australia / New Zealand RSE community. 

Initiated in the UK, the RSE movement is a global phenomenon with many associations now set up around the world. In line with that global trend, New Zealand’s community of research software users and developers has steadily grown, with more roles and numbers of people at the intersection of software and research." - NZRSE
