    • External drivers including UKRI focus on open and reproducible research, and high profile research software failures.
    • Improving RSE careers.
    • Facilitating access by research projects to software engineering skills.
    • Our sustainable funding model.
  • What the RSE Team does:
    • Implementing good practice (e.g. testing, version control, documentation).
    • Software development in Python, R, Matlab, C, etc.
    • Improving software performance.
    • Packaging and managing dependencies.
  • How to access free at point of use help via Code Clinics.
