+### **Position 004** - Establishing central research software engineering units in german research institutions
+
+| ![First page of the position 004 PDF.]({{ "/assets/img/positions/position-004-cover.png" | prepend: site.baseurl }}) | **Abstract:** This position paper urges decision makers in Germany to establish central Research Software Engineering (RSE) units within their institutions.
+The focus is not put primarily on the establishment of RSE services in general, as this has been done already elsewhere. Instead, we highlight central RSE units. Motivation for their existence is discussed, underpinned by working examples both in neighbouring fields as well as outside of Germany. The heart of this paper is a vision of a central RSE unit, its structure, and the definition of nine core support modules such a unit may provide. An initial survey finds that there is considerable diversity within the module distribution, even within the few considered groups.  We discuss initial observations on possible clusters, but further studies are needed. Finally, we discuss realisation strategies. While this paper focuses mostly on the German academic environment, some general strategies should also apply elsewhere.
