Growing awareness of the importance of research software and the people who develop it

This presentation was given at the inaugeral ZA-REN Week in September 2023. 

The ZA·REN Week '23 is the only conference providing a holistic space in which IT practitioners serving South African higher education and research (be they from central IT, libraries, the research office, or research collaborations) can gather in a common space to exchange ideas and share challenges. Whilst ZA·REN Week is a new event in 2023, it incorporates several annual meetings and workshops previously held separately, together with a new format and additional content.

While ZA·REN Week '23 is aimed at those public universities and research councils using the South African NREN, representatives from partner organisations are welcome to join us. [source: https://events.tenet.ac.za/event/33/]
