+This workshop is part of [eScience 2023](https://www.escience-conference.org/2023/),
+which will be held **IN-PERSON**.
+
+Research Software Engineers (RSEs) combine professional software engineering
+expertise with an intimate understanding of research. They are uniquely placed
+in the eScience ecosystem to ensure development of sustainable research
+environments and reproducible research outputs. However, the position of RSEs
+within eScience is still not fully established, with many RSEs not gaining proper
+recognition for their contributions and struggling to find a way to progress their
+careers. The theme of this workshop is sustainable RSE ecosystems, encompassing
+both the role of RSEs in sustainable eScience and making the RSE ecosystem
+itself more sustainable. We intend for this workshop to raise awareness of the
+concept of research software engineers and research software engineering (RSEng),
+as well as to provide an opportunity for RSEs and those interested in RSEng to
+talk about issues and solutions. Anyone involved or interested in RSEng is
+welcome to attend. 
+
+The first half of our workshop will consist of a series of invited talks and
+interactive question/answer. The second half of the program will be discussion-based
+breakouts. We will produce a blog post after the workshop that discusses the
+talks and the breakouts. 
+
+The workshop is October 11th from 09:00 - 12:30 EEST.
