SURF Research Day 2026

Landelijke Docs: Contribution Carnival
2026-05-19 , Showroom

Landelijke Docs is an informal initiative driven by the shared interest of support professionals who are developing training and policy for research software. By connecting our efforts and integrating with existing platforms and directories, we can help ensure that the valuable work being done locally becomes more discoverable, impactful, and sustainable, nationally.

Project goals:

  • Encourage engagement with existing platforms to promote the re-use and adaptation of existing training materials related to research software

    • Expand written documentation and guides for research software

    • Connect support staff and research software engineers with community initiatives to improve peer support and inter-institutional collaboration.

During this session there will be a walk-through of the project and contribution process. The project will then be opened for contributions and donations that will be reviewed and added to the project during the workshop and the following days.

Contributions range from fixing a typo to writing an article, creating an issue (in the repo) to creating some graphics and they are all welcome! Donations refer to uploading guides, courses, cheatsheets, and more to the learning bank or adding links of your work or 3rd party resources to the link list.

Let's get this party started ദ്ദി( •̀ ᴗ - )
