Since 2010 software engineers from various NWO institutes and the like get together every year to share experiences and to see something of their sister institutes. In 2010 we visited Amolf, in 2011 FOM Rijnhuizen, in 2012 NIOZ, in 2013 NIKHEF, in 2014 SRON (Utrecht), in 2015 NLR (Marknesse), and on the 26th of January this year we met at ASTRON.

The day was well organized by Ina Doorten and Ger van Diepen. The group got to observe with the Dwingeloo telescope with help from Tammo Jan Dijkema and Michel Arts, and Gijs Schoonderbeek explained the Uniboard2. The rest of the day was spent listening to presentations given by the participants on a broad range of software engineering topics. The next meeting will likely be hosted by the NL eScience Center.
