Description
When we get into science, we do so because we want to have an impact on the world, explore the boundaries of knowledge, or just answer questions. Yet, we see so much bad quality science, results that are not reproducible, and building on the shoulders of giants seems to be so far away.
One building block of research quality is bringing the right knowledge to the right people. Open Science is hard. Data analyses are hard. Research Software Engineering is hard. So how do we get these skills across? Of course, through training.
In this talk I want to present a new trainer network: the Digital Research Academy. Since research software engineering is one of our core topics, I want to share my thoughts on educating the next generation of researchers and RSEs, the way the Digital Research Academy can contribute to it, as well as encourage current RSEs to become ambassadors for digital literacy.
