Minor tweak to the event description

Modellierung Fitnessclub is a monthly meeting where researchers talk about how they

build modelling workflows with coding harnesses (such as Claude code, OpenAI Codex,

cursor or Pi harness). This is a hands on meeting to share experience that is

cursor, Open code or Pi harness). This is a hands on meeting to share experience that is

transferable to other scientific domains. We are all learning how agentic coding is

going to disrupt computer programming and our modelling work as a result.

- We can discuss about data representations (such as multidimensional arrays),

  input/output, file storage formats, databases, git version control and issue

  management, integration tests, CI, visualisations plotting, workflow engines to run

  models in a dependency graph and semantics.

- We can discuss about data representations (such as multidimensional arrays, vectors

  and tensors), input/output, file storage formats, databases, git version control and

  issue management, integration tests, CI, security aspects, visualisations plotting,

  workflow engines to run models in a dependency graph and about semantics how we name

  variables and functions .

- Topics could also be extended to literature research with LLMs that ground their

  answers in existing literature such as Perplexity and Claude and to prompting

  techniques to avoid sycophancy (such as grill-me, expert panel, storm review, hostile

  review).

  answers in existing literature such as Perplexity and to prompting techniques to avoid

  sycophancy (such as grill-me, expert panel, storm review, hostile review).

- The 45 minutes meeting could rotate between different forms: 20 minutes frontal

  presentation followed by a discussions, hands on workshop on a modelling tool (such as

  generating plots), completely informal lunch discussion, review of the methods section

  of a modelling paper.

    - The preferred meeting format is a hands on training camp on a modelling dataset.

# Participate in the hands on training camp

To participate

- Submit your sample dataset and modelling code (in the programming language of your

  choice) in a new issue (also called a work item) at:

- Submit your sample dataset  in a new issue (also called a work item) at:

  https://aidaho-edu.uni-hohenheim.de/gitlab/modellierung/modellierung_fitnessclub/-/work_items

    - Make sure your data file is smaller than 10Mb. If the sample data is larger than

      publicly or through the university network, for example in an idaho repository.

      Then share that link in the issue.

    - You are very welcomed to make a merge request if you want place your project in

      the `projects/<current year>` directory.

    - Optionally, you can also add modelling code (in the programming language of your

      choice)

    - If you want, you are very welcomed to make a merge request to place your dataset

      and associated code directly in the `projects/<current year>` directory.

If the programming language is proprietary and requires a licence, please come with

your own laptop so that you can run the model in it's licenced environment.
