A new RSE Group - the first 100 days

At the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology we are in the process of putting together a new RSE group. We're starting with 6 engineers with a range of backgrounds and interests, working from a team that supports the whole environmental science organisation. This talk describes what we've experienced in the first 100 days - agreeing our goals, finding collaborators, making ourselves and our services known to the organisation, building up a programme of workshops; encouraging a culture shift while adapting to a new culture ourselves. How have we succeeded? What do we wish we'd known when writing this abstract? A recording of this session is available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/O6STQgU9Ue8
