This is a Tech Talk focused around the community of Recognition for Researchers who Code. This is a part of the Researcher Software Engineer (RSE) international community.

This Tech Talk aims to build awareness of and to identify volunteers for the RSE community. If you are an academic/researcher who codes but are lacking recognition and metrics needed to progress your academic career; a 'generalist' who brings communities together and can engage with both researchers and technical staff; or a professional software engineer working in the research space; you should think about attending this meeting.
