Community

The RSE group supports research software developers (any researcher who develops software) and research software engineers across the university through our community activities. The best way to keep updated on these is to join RSE Sheffield’s Announcements Google Group:

The mailing list is for moderated announcements only (not discussion) but you are welcome to post any announcements which you feel may be of interest to the community (e.g. training or interesting talks and events)!

Other Initiatives at the University of Sheffield

There are a number of other local initiatives that may be of interest to the research software developer community.

• The University of Sheffield’s Open Data Science Initiative
• The city of Sheffield has an active R-user’s group
• The Sheffield Bioinformatics Core provides a Bioinformatics analysis and consulting service and runs specialised training courses
• Physics and Astronomy Programming Skills Sessions organised by SSI Fellow Becky Arnold
