9/9 Want to be part of the conversation? Read the full Roadmap & join us in shaping the future of A&H digital research! 📖➡️ doi.org/10.5281/zeno... and doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

8/9 This is about securing the UK’s leadership in research for the digital age. A thriving RSE community will drive innovation, empower researchers & create methodologies that benefit all disciplines. Now we need the funding to make it happen. 🔥

7/9 It will also help the UK maximise its investment in high-performance computing (HPC), ensuring A&H researchers can harness cutting-edge technology while providing unique, human-centred insights into digital transformation.

6/9 Beyond infrastructure, this Capability will supercharge A&H research. Imagine large-scale computational analysis of archives, AI-driven historical insights & scalable digital research tools, all made possible through expert technical collaboration.

5/9 What will this achieve? 🚀
✅ More access to RSE expertise, unlocking digital research opportunities
✅ Stronger career pathways for researchers & RSEs
✅ Sustainable digital infrastructure for long-term impact
✅ Greater cross-disciplinary collaboration

4/9 🔹 Build a UK-wide Directory & community of RSEs
🔹 Deliver training & skills programmes
🔹 Enable matchmaking to connect RSEs with researchers
🔹 Foster open collaboration & knowledge exchange
🔹 Drive innovation in reusable research tools & methods
🔹 Data & insights about the research landscape

3/9 That’s why we propose a National A&H RSE Capability – a concrete, people-centred, framework to ensure digital expertise is widely accessible across the UK. Here’s what it recommends:

2/9 Digital methods, AI, data analysis, visualisation, software development are unlocking new research possibilities. But many A&H researchers lack the collaborators needed to innovate effectively. RSEs are scarce, unevenly distributed and benefit from A&H specific expertise.
