-Michael Weinold is a PhD student in the Laboratory for Energy Systems Analysis. Many of the software tools he has built can be used by students and researchers – but hosting them on a managed server is also very costly. This is why he has ported the tools to run in a browser sandbox using the WebAssembly standard. No running cost – and complex Python-based calculations directly in the browser. This can power user-friendly dashboard and web applications. Michael will share insights into how to set up tools in this new way.

+# Surveys
+
+## 2025
+
+In 2025, we conducted a staff survey on the state of research software engineering at Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI). The survey was open in September and October 2025, and we received responses from over 50 research software engineers (RSEs) across all centers at PSI. On average, every respondent spent over half an hour on the survey.
