The RSE-AUNZ Steering Committee is pleased to announce the Birds-of-a-Feather session at C3DIS - Metrics for Measuring the Contributions of Research Software Engineers. The goals of the session are:

1. To identify the various aspects of RSE contributions to research, and
2. Agree on metrics that can realistically capture those RSE contributions.

Further details are available on the C3DIS abstract:

• Metrics for Measuring the Contributions of Research Software Engineers
• Date & Time: July 8, 2021 14:00 - 15:00 (AEST)

We would also like to highlight the BoF organised by Tom Honeyman (ARDC) - A National Approach to Research Software. That session will also have material relevant to RSE interests, particularly around having career pathways for RSEs. Further details here:

• A National Approach to Research Software
• Date & Time: July 6, 2021 14:00 - 15:00 (AEST)

We encourage everyone to join both of these sessions, if possible. Your presence will help us capture the breadth of RSE roles and perspectives that exist.

Cheers,

Manodeep Sinha
