and on their research-wise "home domain".
Senior RSEs are also able to lead research, and many RSEs have a doctorate [@hettrick_survey_2022].
Since RSEs often operate in different research fields, they also gain their reputation from their effectiveness in interacting with researchers from the same or other domains. Therefore, some curiosity together with a broad overview of the
research field is required, as this enables the RSE to learn new methods and algorithms directly from domain peers.

In practice, this concerns change management for code and documentation

While software is the common focus of all RSEs,
there will be RSEs that have additionally specialised in the intricacies of one particular research domain,
such as medical RSEs, digital humanities RSEs, or physics RSEs.
This can often serve as a base domain for RSE specialisation as in @subsec:examplemaster.

#### Data-focused RSE

This list and description of competencies is a first step to finding common ground
around which to structure curricula, institutions, and teachers in this framework.
Applications of these competencies in an individual's career can be found in @subsec:examplemaster.
An omission that we found and that we would like to highlight in order to spark a community discussion is
that RSEs that choose explicitly a science-supporting role outside of research will not be eligible for funding
under the statutes of many funding organisations that require at least a PhD.

Beyond this discussion, a diverse set of publications on the topic RSE teaching is already in the making.

Within this set, we will work next on how to institutionalise education.
In that publication, we will detail how we organise our institutions

We will put forward ideas on how to build up bachelor's and master's programmes,

We will show how we intend to provide the necessary continuous education for RSEs after graduation,
and we will connect that with the integration of RSEs into a mesh of community networks aimed at supporting research,
while providing them with an inclusive social network that further facilitates lifelong learning.
