The current focus SEG's activities is the Software Engineering Support Programme (SESP). This activity will contribute the use of up-to-date software engineering techniques and tools in software development within CSED and the computational science community in general. 

The main goals of the SES Programme are:

• to introduction and widespread use of software engineering practices and technology by identifying, evaluating, and maturing promising or underused technology and practices;

• maintain a long-term competency in software engineering and technology transition;

• enable the UK academic community to make measured improvements in their software engineering practices by working with them directly;

• encourage the adoption and sustained use of standards of excellence for software engineering practice;

• foster collaborations with other groups, in the UK, Europe and the US, that have an interest in the applications of advanced software engineering techniques in computational science.
