Call for funding RSE Ambassadors

We are pleased to announce that the EnhanceR association offers funding for RSE ambassadors from academic/research institutions for one year:

• Institutions which are members of the EnhanceR association with 10,000 CHF,
• Institutions which are not EnhanceR members with 5,000 CHF.

RSE Ambassadors advocate for and support the Research Software Engineer (RSE) community. They play a crucial role in raising awareness about the importance of research software engineers in academia and research institutions.

RSE Ambassadors facilitate networking and collaboration within the community. They also engage in organizing meetings, outreach activities, sharing best practices and help to increase the visibility of the RSE community in Switzerland.

We particularly encourage applications from volunteers from academic institutions with no or very early-stage RSE communities.

You can find all details about this call this document

The deadline for submission is 23 March 2025.
