In this course, you will move beyond programming, to learn how to construct reliable, readable, efficient research software in a collaborative environment. The emphasis is on practical techniques, tips, and technologies to effectively build and maintain complex code. This is a relatively short course (8-10 half-day modules) which is intensive and involves hands-on exercises.

RSE Groups comprise a number of RSEs who work for researchers across an organisation. It’s a winning formula that allows researchers access to professional software engineering expertise that they pay for only when they need it, and provides a sustainable home for RSEs by focussing the organisation’s demand for software expertise in one group.

The Software Sustainability Institute cultivates better, more sustainable, research software to enable world-class research. We help people build better software, and we work with researchers, developers, funders and infrastructure providers to identify key issues and best practice in scientific software.

The SSI has developed and co-developed an array of training resources aimed at various levels of expertise. Some of our collaborators include The Carpentries, The Turing Way, our Fellows, and CDTs and DTPs in the UK.
