We are looking for an RIE Theme Lead who will lead activities to develop communities of practice for Research Infrastructure Engineers across the partnership and beyond.

Sam Bland from the University of York is taking over from Marion Weinzierl as our new Research Software Engineer (RSE) Theme Lead. In an interview with us, he discusses his plans for the theme going forward.

We have launched surveys for our Digital Health and Digital Humanities themes to identify the people and the areas of active research to enable N8 CIR to better support research

Across many subthemes of research in the Digital Health space, a few strong themes emerged. Our community showed us how connecting with technology and each other is pushing forward health innovation.

The digital humanities research area is expanding faster than definitions can keep up. Our wonderful community of digital humanities researchers explain how connections are enabling this.
