DESCRIPTION:Context: This past year\, we at the Faculty of Science's Comput
 ational and Data Systems Initiative (CDSI) have been spending some time ta
 lking with various individuals and groups on campus with interests in Rese
 arch Software Engineering. This includes faculty researchers\, research so
 ftware engineering staff on campus\, and those involved with some of McGil
 l's software engineering education programs.   \n\nWhat is beginning to em
 erge\, to our eyes\, is a sense of potential synergy among these various g
 roups. This mirrors\, in turn\, what seems to be an increasingly prevalent
  tendency worldwide on university campuses to try to create more of a crit
 ical mass around the research software engineering space\, in contrast to 
 the somewhat diaspora-like state that that community has typically had to 
 date (e.g.\, witness the recent creation of the Society for Research Softw
 are Engineers). \n\nAs an initial concrete step in this direction\, the Re
 search Software Engineering Forum is intended as an initial gathering of M
 cGill's professional research software engineering community\, and related
  SE-interested groups\, to begin providing a sense of cross-campus communi
 ty and to define mechanisms for continuing to develop and support that com
 munity going forward. Planned for 3hrs in length\, it will feature a mix o
 f 5-min lightning talks for group representatives to present the who/what/
 where/why/how of what they do and structured roundtable discussions. Food 
 and drinks will be provided. \n\nEvent Date: Wednesday\, February 21st 202
 4 from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM \n\nLocation: Bronfman Building\, room 045\, 10
 01 rue Sherbrooke Ouest\n\nSchedule: \n\n11:45 AM: Doors Open \n\n12:00 –
