Dear de.NBI Cloud user,
We invite you to participate in a survey on research software engineering in Germany. This survey is not conducted on behalf of de.NBI, but we would be grateful for your support.
The purpose of this survey ( https://app.formbricks.com/s/is9s0vh7yphez6k8cl2laak8 ) is to gather knowledge on the existing services of research software engineering (RSE) teams in Germany.
This knowledge will be included in reports to funders on the RSE eco-system and will inform the creation of a federal level organisation for research software development. In this context, we consider RSE teams as groups of people who are helping other researchers with their research software, e.g., by consultancy, by community building, by providing training, by teaching RSE competencies, or by direct software development. If your team does some or all of this, we invite you to contribute to this survey. We would like to shine a spotlight on the diversity of RSE teams in Germany, their services, service operations and their managements and for this we need your help!
Your participation will help us and the RSE community to raise awareness of the RSE teams in Germany, to understand the diversity of RSE activities and services and to map it on a landscape as well. After closing the survey, we summarize the data and provide an overview of the results for the community.
The FutuRSI [ˈfjuːt͡ʃəɹaɪz] project is developing a prototype service organization for research software development with distributed teams to evaluate how such a service should be designed at the federal level (https://www.futursi.de and https://gitlab.com/futursi)
