As we open our first round for Infrastructure Steering Committee call for proposals and R User Groups’ submissions, we want to take a moment to reiterate our mission as the R Consortium.

The R Consortium promotes the growth and development of the R language and its ecosystem by supporting technical and social infrastructure, fostering community engagement, and driving industry adoption.

We work to ensure a thriving, diverse global R community by providing resources, facilitating collaboration, and advocating for the use of R in multiple industry sectors. We provide funding for technical infrastructure through grants and working groups. We provide funding for social infrastructure through grants for R user groups and events around the world.

We provide a neutral space where industry, academia, and government can collaborate on mission critical processes and standards.

Our efforts in support of the R language and the community that keeps it growing and relevant are a privilege and we are committed to ensuring that our actions are in compliance with our code of conduct.

We hope that you and your organization will join us in support of the R language and our community. We have a lot of work to do and we are excited to see the new and familiar faces come together for another fantastic year.
