Research software stakeholders in Africa

<p>In 2019 the <a href="https://www.researchsoft.org/">Research Software Alliance</a> set out to map the research software landscape in the<a href="https://www.researchsoft.org/blog/2020-03/"> Global North</a>. In 2021 they followed up with a mapping of the <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7179892">Global South</a> with support from consultants in various regions in Africa, South America and Asia.</p> <p>Based on <a href="https://talarify.co.za">Talarify's</a> extensive networks in Africa and past collaboration with various research software communities, we built on the mapping by ReSA in 2022 and added an additional 166 African research software stakeholders. We also developed a <a href="https://rsse-africa.shinyapps.io/RSSE_mapping/">Shiny app</a> to visualise the data online.</p> <p>Read more about this project and the projects it builds on at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.talarify.co.za/2023/02/01/mapping-the-rse-landscape-in-africa/">https://www.talarify.co.za/2023/02/01/mapping-the-rse-landscape-in-africa/</a>.</p> <p>To add data to the dataset, please complete the form available at&nbsp;<a href="https://forms.gle/oufnEiZ28YGGeYy16">https://forms.gle/oufnEiZ28YGGeYy16</a>.</p> <p><em>The additional mapping was funded by <a href="https://talarify.co.za">Talarify</a>.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
