One of the services a centralized RSE department likely will provide is training to improve the often low-quality code developed by beginners [REF low-quality].

Examples of organizational training efforts are the Helmholtz HIFIS group [https://events.hifis.net/category/4/], the Scientific Software Center in Heidelberg [https://www.ssc.uni-heidelberg.de/en], the Competence Center Digital Research in Jena (zedif: [https://www.zedif.uni-jena.de/en/]), and the SURESOFT workshops series in Braunschweig ~\autocite{SURESOFTLink, Blech2022}.

Another national pioneer is the Göttingen State and University Library which set up a group of RSEs offering – besides training – services like data modeling and visualization, digital editions, portal development and more. They reported a remarkable increase in software quality, better grant applications, less brain drain and overall employee satisfaction levels~\autocite{schimavoigt2023}.

The demand for such services appears to be ever-increasing.

Other tasks include code review (REF? Charite), consultation services regarding frameworks or algorithm selection, licensing, and more.

RSEs have always embraced and supported collaborative infrastructure and tools, e.g. GitLab, Containerisation, etc. and thus enabled fellow researchers utilising such infrastructure.

In some national and international organisations, established RSE groups already develop solutions for (and guided by) research projects. This approach assures high quality research software and allows domain scientists to focus on their research challenges.
