Building an Institutional RSE Community #

At USRSE'26 in San Jose, CA, the Institutional RSE Networking Affinity Group is hosting a Birds of a Feather session on Monday, October 19, 2026. We’ll explore the practical and social aspects of building or finding local RSE communities, using communities of practice and self-determination theory as framing, before splitting into facilitated breakout groups.
