A Research Software Engineer combines professional software engineering expertise with an intimate understanding of research

Join the Society of Research Software Engineering

The Society of Research Software Engineering was founded on the belief that a world which relies on software must recognise the people who develop it. Our mission is to establish a research environment that recognises the vital role of software in research. We work to increase software skills across everyone in research, to promote collaboration between researchers and software experts, and to support the creation of an academic career path for Research Software Engineers.

Our events help RSEs learn skills with new technologies, and techniques for managing projects and building careers.

The RSE community has grown rapidly across the UK and around the world.

The society advocates changes that will advance research by improving the software it relies on.
