Date: Thursday 19th December 2019
Location: EPCC, The Bayes Centre, 47 Potterrow, Edinburgh, EH8 9BT.
Host: Andy Turner
Theme: Defining RSE skills and competencies
Proposal: It would be useful to work towards a formal definition of what skills define an RSE and the various competency levels in the skills. This can then be used to help define different RSE roles at different levels and also form a starting point to define an RSE training programme (or even apprenticeships). From this meeting, it would be good to agree the structure that such a formal definition would take and concrete actions to kick this work off properly.

The two ‘RSE skills’ placeholders in the agenda below are intended for attendees who would like to present about this subject.
