The Research Software Group (RSG) consists of Research Software Engineers (RSEs), Research Data Scientists, Dev Ops Engineers and Research Applications Specialists. The RSG is part of the Advanced Research Computing Team, which is based in IT Services. The RSG delivers several services available to all researchers in the University, with the aim of improving the research software written and used by the researchers. Our mission is summed up in the words of the Software Sustainability Institute: ‘better software, better research’.
