Most of the work within RLadies+ happens through the chapter organisers around the world. The global organisation supports them with technical infrastructure and a network they can turn to for help and guidance. The global team also coordinates activities that span all chapters — creating pathways to the international network, increasing visibility of RLadies+ actions, and spotlighting minority genders in tech and R.
Community Slack
The community Slack is open to anyone who identifies as a woman or gender minority and is interested in R. It is a space for sharing information, learning, and connecting with other RLadies+ members.
The Code of Conduct applies to keep the space welcoming for everyone.
Blog
Thoughts, tutorials, and stories from the global RLadies+ community — written by organisers, members, and the global team.
Abstract Review
RLadies+ Global runs a review and feedback programme for conference abstracts and funding applications, covering both R-related and domain-specific conferences. 80 international reviewers provide constructive feedback on topics, pitch, phrasing, and subject matter — helping members put their best work forward.
Estimated time commitment for reviewers: 1 review per year.
Rotating Curator (RoCur)
RLadies+ RoCur
is a rotating Bluesky account that features
a different community member each week. The programme has two goals: to maintain active engagement on
Bluesky, and to spotlight the work of minority gender R users across professions and experience levels —
from newcomers to long-time contributors.
