DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Jeremy Cohen (Imperial College London)\n\n\n\nCommun
 ities are a very important aspect of the development and sustainability of
  research software engineering. It was as the result of a community meetin
 g back in 2012 that the Research Software Engineering (RSE) movement came
  about. This goes to show the potential power of a group of individuals co
 ming together from a range of different research backgrounds with common c
 hallenges\, important ideas and a desire to drive change. Research softwar
 e communities provide a place for RSEs and researchers to build knowledge\
 , develop networks and find collaborators. They also provide a space to de
 velop policies and advocate for the importance of RSE and the best practic
 es it promotes.\n\nThis workshop will investigate the challenges of buildi
 ng\, developing and sustaining research software communities. The workshop
  scope includes communities at all levels – international\, national\, r
 egional and local – and a range of topics\, both general and discipline-
 specific. The workshop will be interactive and will provide opportunities 
 for participants to apply knowledge gained to challenges they may have in 
 trying to set up or grow their own communities\, and to engage in group di
 scussion to support this.\n\nThere is already significant expertise in com
 munity development and engagement in a variety of areas of the research co
 mmunity. This workshop will aim to bring together a range of different per
 spectives and ideas from representatives from different types of communiti
 es along with resources on community development and engagement from relev
 ant groups. It will consist of two 2-hour sessions over two days.\n\nThe w
 orkshop will draw upon experiences from a range of research software commu
 nities\, including national RSE chapters\, e.g.\, de-RSE chapters. The wor
 kshop will build on the Community of Open Scholarship Grassroots Networks
  (COSGN) concept that the Research Software Alliance (ReSA) created to s
 upport the community development element of grassroots initiatives in open
  source software.\n\nLanguage: English\n\nBy joining the event in Zoom\, I
  hereby confirm that I have read and understood the privacy policies for p
