SUMMARY:Improving Inclusion and Accessibility in Research Software Enginee
 ring
DESCRIPTION:Minisymposium\n\nNeil Chue Hong (University of Edinburgh)\n\nR
 esearch software – specialist software used to support or undertake resear
 ch – is of huge importance to researchers. It contributes to significant a
 dvances in the wider world and requires collaboration between people with 
 diverse skills and backgrounds. Analysis of the International Research Sof
 tware Engineer survey data provides evidence for a lack of diversity in th
 e Research Software Engineer community, also highlighted by the Lorentz wo
 rkshop "Vive la différence - research software engineers". Further researc
 h by the Software Sustainability Institute has investigated the wider land
 scape around research software in the UK, to try and identify intervention
 s which could address challenges in the wider research software community 
 and highlight areas where the community is becoming more diverse. There ar
 e also lessons that are applicable, more generally, to the field of softwa
 re development around training, recruitment and retention from other disci
 plines and the importance of welcoming communities.\n\nDomain: Applied Soc
 ial Sciences and Humanities\n\nSession Chair: Daniel S. Katz (University o
 f Illinois Urbana-Champaign)
