+# Motivation
+The digitalization of science is moving ever forward, and requires a specialized breed of people that 
+specialize into the interface between science and digital tools.
+We have identified the RSE as this particular person equipped with the values and skills we have outlined in [previous pub].
+We argue that the current opportunistic approach is not sufficient to create the required number of RSEs.
+This requires that specialized centers exist that focus solely on RSE graduates. Our previous publication has already given a hint with a Master program that could follow up on a STEM Bachelor.
+There are several beneficiaries that would benefit from having this kind of graduation path.
+First would be the to-be established RSE groups, whose integration in the academic system is detailed in another publication. Libraries who want to strengthen their digital services together with RDM.
+HPC Compute centers can benefit from graduates that cover the spectrum from HPC-RSE till Community support RSEs. Even outside of traditional academia there are beneficiaries in government 
+organisations that perform their own research(e.g. PTB, RKI).
+Universities in particular could benefit from proper graduates, to offer services in their RSE-related groups that are competitive with other universities. It would also be easier
+for the departments themselves to find suitable candidates for filling an embedded-RSE position.
+
+Offering a dedicated RSE graduation program is also an opportunity for a university 
+to showcase its interdisciplinarity. RSE are very often required to work with a diverse
+set of domain scientitsts. Therefore establishing such a course requires a great deal 
+of interdisciplinary synchronization that could result in a campus-wide network.

 # Organisational Infrastructures
 So we have defined our set of competencies that we feel every RSE should possess.
 Table 2 above nevertheless already hints at the fact that some RSE skills are required during the domain studies,
