The September 2020 SSI Fellows Community Call.

The goals of these Community Calls are to:
- Facilitate community building and encourage collaboration within the SSI Fellows community.
- Check in with the Fellows and community care - What are the Fellows up to? How can we support them?
- Provide a welcoming and inclusive space for Fellows to share and explore topics of interest and network with others.

This month, we:
- Heard updates from one of our Fellows: what they are working on, any projects seeking support/collaboration, demos of projects, fellowship plans, activities, events, etc.
- Explored next steps for the Impact of Management and Process in Academic Research Software (IMPARS) project, what funders can do to make RSEs accepted parts of research culture, and how to change “toxic” cultures in academia in breakout room discussions.
