The deadline to register to participate remotely is Thursday, 11 April 2024.The themes of CW24 will be<ul><li>Environmental Sustainability: including how to determine the environmental impact of your hardware and code, training and education about environmentally sustainable behaviour, and activism highlighting potential improvements to existing infrastructure, processes and systems.</li><li>AI/ML tools for science: including benefits and limitations of using AI/ML tools to write your code, ethical considerations when using these tools, and training and education around the usage and impact of AI/ML tools.</li><li>Citizen science: including designing participatory research projects, training and education around citizen science, and the role of research software in citizen science projects.</li></ul>CW will be held as a hybrid event, with the in-person element taking place at the University of Warwick, UK. Registrants participating remotely will be sent connection details and instructions closer to the event.CW24 will follow the unconference philosophy — where participants get to choose which proposed discussions happen, what problems they solve in the Collaborative Ideas session, and which team they want to join for the Hack Day. In addition there will be plenary presentations, speed blogging, exploratory sessions on selected topics and a social programme to support networking and new collaborations. The CW format offers a novel way to support its themes which participants find both useful and enjoyable.The Hack Day allows participants to realise the ideas coming from the Collaborations Workshop. Successful hack projects need not all be code — they can include any combination of software, specifications, guidance and other materials — thus enabling people from all backgrounds to participate. The Hack Day will focus on topics related to the themes of the workshop and there will be prizes for the best team efforts. Remember good hacks are cool, better ones are potentially impactful.Visit the <a href="http://software.ac.uk/cw24" title="https://www.software.ac.uk/workshop/collaborations-workshop-2024-cw24" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">CW24 webpage</a> for more information about the event.
