The eScience Fellowship Programme is aimed at members of the academic research community who are passionate to act as ambassadors for the use of research software. Research software can be any piece of code, script, package, tool, library, or programme written for the purpose of being used in research. The Fellowship Programme supports those who want to promote or improve the awareness and use of research software within their institute or academic community. Each Fellow is expected to carry out activities to this end within the duration of their Fellowship (12 months). Any activities related to improving awareness or use of research software will be considered.
