Groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly (Lave & Wenger)
The work of the Institute is limited by our size, if we can help create self-sustaining communities that share our goals, we can significantly increase our impact.
RSE Community
Carpentry instructors
SSI Fellows
UKRN and software citation
National Biofilms Innovation Centre
National Oceanographic Centre software teams
Communities of practice hold the promise of significantly increasing the Institute's impact
They require a significant level of investment
We will have to experiment and be agile in the way we create the communities and in the staff we used to support them
