I'm leading a research project aimed at understanding how Digital Research Competencies are taught across Higher Education and the role played by digital Research Technical Professionals (e.g. #RSE #DataScientist...) and I need your #help by filling it this #survey and circulating it to your contacts.

@twm Thanks for sharing and providing that useful context! It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday at #StepUp2026 .

It would be great to capture your (and @digiresacademy ) expertise on training digital research competencies.

Likewise! Lovely to meet you and hear about the work you folks are doing!

I've filled in the survey from my personal perspective, but do let me know how DRA might be able to assist or collaborate in the future :)
