Feel free to share this further or use it to convince your employer to start an RSE group :)
Conference 2024: In May we met at Aalto University in Espoo, Finland Nordic RSE conference for our first in-person conference. We met with about 30 RSE and RSE interested people to learn, network and discuss. Blog post about the conference coming soon!

The Nordic Research Software Engineers association hopes to promote the careers of RSEs and the advancement of science by:
We are a young organization and there is plenty of room to get involved with your own ideas - please get in touch.
Many of us are active in CodeRefinery, which focuses on teaching RSE-like skills to researchers.
