The Teaching and Training Special Interest Group within the Society of Research Software Engineering is calling dRTP group or team leads to contribute to the dRTP Training Landscape Survey 2026 by sharing insights on their current training activities, barriers to development, and interests in cross-institutional partnerships. 

The primary objective is to map out the current educational landscape for digital research professionals by gathering data from team leaders. The survey seeks to identify the specific types of training currently being offered, the funding models supporting these initiatives, and the demographics of the learners involved. Furthermore, the questionnaire investigates the use of external learning resources versus those developed in-house and seeks to uncover existing barriers that prevent teams from expanding their teaching portfolios.

If you lead a dRTP group or a team, please take a moment to help map out our collective training landscape – your input will be essential in helping the community foster future collaborations across institutions and streamline the development of training on research software and data skills.

• The survey will be open from 16 February – 31 March 2026.
