Welcome to RSE South
A new regional Research Software Engineering (RSE) network, RSE South, has been formed in early 2022 to bring RSE groups together to network, collaborate and to share RSE skills and resources.
The network aims to reach institutions located in the South of the UK, focusing on groups outside of the existing London RSE network. A series of workshops, regular meetings and joint online resources are planned to grow a community and foster group relationships. The network is open to and welcomes any new members passionate about software, RSEs or RSE Groups in the south region.
What is RSE South?
RSE South is a new regional network of Research Software Engineering groups in the South of the UK.
Our mission is to bring RSE communities at institutions in the South of the UK together to share RSE skills and resources.
RSE South will run themed events focused on RSE related topics, which will be open to all interested staff and students at the member institutions and give training, networking, collaboration and showcasing opportunities.
