RSE Leaders Meetings

The RSE Leaders Network aims to host at least two events a year. One of those is usually a satellite event at RSECon and is organised alongside the conference. The other event is hosted by an RSE Leader at their institution.

A Leaders & Aspiring Leaders Meeting is an opportunity for leaders of research software groups and aspiring leaders to come together. 

Organising a Meeting provides an opportunity for leaders to gain organisational experience and contribute to the RSE community. Logistical support will be provided by the RSE Leaders Network SIG steering group.

To volunteer to host a Leaders meeting, contact the RSE Leaders SIG ([email protected]). If you want to know more about the current RSE Leaders SIG, check out the SIG’s page.
