In this talk, I will look at the history of the RSE +campaign and explain why I think the campaign was successful. I will move onto +what excites me most about today’s RSE community: the way in which it is helping +to change research culture from focussing not just on collecting results, but on +collecting reliable and reproducible results. The impetus for this change comes +from RSE’s contributions to the arguments around how we define “success” in research. +RSE has had a huge, positive impact on this debate by proving that if we don’t +recognise everyone who is vital to research, we limit our ability to conduct +research. I’ll end with some thoughts on tomorrow’s research and the inevitable +and hugely welcome growth of non-traditional research roles. + + +### Simon Hettrick + + Professor Simon Hettrick is Director of Strategy at the Software Sustainability + Institute and a Director of the Southampton Research Software Group. + +Simon is a passionate advocate for Research Software Engineers. He orchestrated a +campaign to gain recognition for this community, which grew from a handful of people +to an international community numbering in the tens of thousands. Presenting the +opening talk to a couple of hundred newly-minted RSEs at the first ever RSE +Conference in 2016 is his fondest memory from his entire career. He was the +founding chair of the UK's Association of Research Software Engineers and a +founding Trustee of the Society of Research Software Engineering. + +He works with stakeholders from across the research community to develop policies +that support research software, the people who develop that software and the +researchers who rely on it. Simon's research focuses on the use of software +in the research community with the aim of understanding practices and demographics. +In this role, he conducted the first study of software reliance in academia. + +Simon currently spends much of his time with the Hidden REF campaign. In this +role, he campaigns for a research culture that recognises all research outputs +and every role that makes research possible. + +------ + + diff --git a/pages/program/program.md b/pages/program/program.md index 9da97fa..c68c62f 100644 --- a/pages/program/program.md +++ b/pages/program/program.md @@ -1232,6 +1232,7 @@ tags will be replaced.--> width:81pt'>9:00 AM Keynote: + Research Software Engineers: where it started and where it’s going, Simon Hettrick, Ballroom A
